Trivia

• The Scimitar appears to resemble a manta ray or stingray. Alternatively, the Scimitar may have been inspired by stealth bombers such as the B-2 Spirit, both in form and function.
  • Additionally, the Scimitar has unique flying sound effects that are much quieter than other Landing Crafts' sound effects. This falls in line with its stealth bomber aesthetics.
• In the game files, the Scimitar is known as the "Blue Sky Ship."
• On the key art used for the loading screen of Update 31, a pair of Scimitars can be seen firing projectiles on the left side of the scene, suggesting that the ship has weapon capabilities other than bombs.
