Just an idea for scouting and bring it back make it the gate to the bigger lance on lance missions. You get your 4 man lance you go do scouting whatever that may be. After winning so many scouting missions you get invited to bigger 8v8 12v12 drops. How well you did in scouting will get you higher rank drops. Make scouting the primary FP mode with larger missions that determine the important outcomes the reward. So if yea want to get in on the bigger important fights you will have to really prove your worth in scouting

I notice that your skill only go's up with high damage in games, in other words scouting isn't rewarded at all

now we all know light mechs can and do great damage, but those guys aren't scouting , its different,

I cant tell you how many games where won by lights scouting or taking caps, yet their skill rating go's down

and their rewards are minimal. How about addressing that ?

That's probably just going to annoy people more, when they want i just to go into the invasion action.

I'd rather they just made it pseudo PVE or something. It's going to make better sense to make Scouting more objective based.

I'm not sure i'd like scouting anymore since they added the VGL, it would completely dominate that.. Maybe the Vulcans as well.
