You hired the frigate and its crew

But seriously, scouts sometimes are stupid. I am afraid that recent memory optimizations affected the speed at which scouts choose their next system to check.
Yesterday I've had a navigator who got killed by 2 light frigs and a siege frig in the orbit of a neutral volcanic planet, because it didn't choose where to jump next for 40 seconds.

Yea, scouts seem to have gotten a bit...'slower' now, but don't forget, they've picked up a more important role in Entrenchment as being able to reveal mines. Who knows what their destiny is for the future, maybe in the next micro expansion scouts will be deemed 'neutral' for diplomatic reasons due to their scouting duties (and since they're not supposed to attack unless forced to)

Oh, hello there! We didn't expect you. How are you today, sir? Would you fancy a tea? Oh, you're just here to look around.
What's that, sir? These ships? They're an invasion fleet we've been amassing for the past two weeks against the planet you just phase jumped from.
Yes, I also think you should start building defenses. Thank you for dropping by, have a nice day.
