Else they should pay back the spent MCs for the bought scouting dropdecks. I don t need them anymore.

lmao, you bought scouting dropdecks. Why? It's one mech, is it that hard to switch.

They should just reduce scouting to a 4vs4. The objectives were pointless and annoying anyways since calling the drop ship was kind of an OP / plus waiting for the other team to farm data was so boring people just quit the match to re queue again.

I disagree. Scouting was bloody fun and a great mode when you wanted to get in your FP fix but could not commit to an entire Siege match. It was also a good mode for less well-stocked players, as you only needed 1 or 2 mechs to participate.

^yeah the fun part was the limited numbers, Not going around gathering data (lame). I do miss scouting a bit. It’s the only mode where that ice ferret was any good. Now that fridge is permanently in the ice box.

I miss scouting a bit too.

It was absolutely horrible when they had phases where everyone was forced to play scouting for hours though, so if it comes back it should be as a separate scouting queue like it used to be.

Scouting was terrible unless it was a 4v4 brawl.

scouting was always a 4v4 brawl, and it was glorious

the 4v4 format highlighted individual skills and lance cohesion, Its a shame
Can we have a 4 v 4 queue maybe?

Another queue?

I know this is back to the way it was, but, another queue?

If Faction Play struggles for numbers so much, why can't the system just drop team size to 8v8 or 4v4 and if it happens to be 4v4 then Scouting is automatically an option?
Add to that though, why just leave Scouting as the only 4v4 mission? We would probably find that different missions work better or worse with different team sizes and if it's just a brawl anyway, why not have Skirmish as one of the options for 4v4?

Splitting Faction Play back into 2 queues just sounds like a massively bad idea at the moment.
