I had an idea on how to encourage and/or provide a "scout" role for lights and fast mechs.

What about having the capture points on Conquest be placed randomly? Or maybe just have each capture point have 3 or 4 different locations it can be? Then, DON'T have the capture points on the map at the start of the match.

Now having a scout or fast mech becomes critical in relaying the location of the capture points back to the rest of the team. You could simply have it so that once the scout has confirmed visual on the capture point within some set distance, it shows up permanently on the map for the team.

This might work in Assault mode as well for some of the larger maps. Make the start positions a little more random so that the scouts need to figure out which direction the enemy is coming from (or where they're going since they don't know where you are).

Just a thought.
