== Description ==
The Hai upgraded their original Pond Strider after acquiring hull repair technology through alien diplomacy. These improvements have greatly reduced casualties in their conflict with the Unfettered, since the light Pond Striders become vulnerable as they collect damaged drones. Besides enabling the ship to repair damaged drones, the Hai have cleverly innovated the Skipper Railgun to make the Pond Strider and Fleas into very efficient combat support for their fleets.
== Location ==
The Pond Strider can be purchased from Hai space after it becomes available during the Wanderers campaign.

== Performance Information ==
Pond Striders are drone carriers meant to provide extra firepower for a fairly inexpensive cost. Besides the drones, the mixture of decent armaments, shields, and hull repair, makes a Pond Strider an effective medium warship in the Hai's arsenal.
The player must complete a Hai mission to retrieve hull repair technology in order to gain access to Pond Striders. This mission is offered midway through the Wanderer campaign.
