I don't really think so.

If you have more than 2 scouts working together, it defeats the purpose of running a scout.

You need a lot of frontliners to keep the enemy distracted.

Have you seen a scout squad? lol

sometimes i run with Mr.Musturd,OZarow and Radar.
4 Scouts can win a game for sure.

but,There are OTHER issues about this Scout corp.
For example, the leader could be shotty goBang fo sure XD

BUT. Having a scout only kills diversity,and scouts as they are and as they7 will be ARE counterable.
If someone goes vs a scout cor pthey will probably use several Gal Logis with Focused scaanners,who pick up Most scouts Out of the Gallente at level 5,with Profile Damp 5 and a Complex dampener....

Once the scouts are seen in the radar,is game over.

Also, its very map dependant.

ETc...

Bormir1r WarRavens League of Infamy 72	Posted - 2014.02.16 19:53:00 - [1] - Quote I've recently given this idea some thought and I have to say, it could be possible.Furthermore if this was done, (IMO) it would become one of the best corps in Dust. The Idea This corporation would be exclusive to only scouts, and not just any scouts, only 100 of the best scouts in the game. There would either be an SP requirement and/or would necessitate a referral which could only be given out after a member of the corp. has seen the performance of the applicant. If this were done today (pre-1.8) I don't think it would be possible because there are too few scouts enough to create this type of corp., however if it were done when 1.8 hit, the influx of new scouts and talent could allow this corp. to thrive, in the perfect environment that 1.8 sustains. Scout veterans that still play would be key to beginning this process. However there are a few issues that are present and would prevent this corp. from being created. 1. Who or whom would lead this corp? Personally (even though I might have the skill) I wouldn't have the time to dedicate myself to being the CEO, it would be someone who is not only passionate, but willing to pledge themselves to the best of their ability as acting chief officer. Another idea for the leadership of the corporation could be, once all the members have been accepted into the corp by whoever creates the corp. to hold an election, in which a "board" would be created based on the elected nominees. They could all have the same amount of power including the CEO, or not including the CEO, in this case the CEO has "slightly" more power than the board. 2. What happens if the corp can't get the best scouts? Getting together all the best scouts isn't an easy task. Being able to influence them to join the corp and leave their existing corp. is going to be pretty difficult, depending on how well they are status wise (relationship to their corp, how willing they are to join, etc.). Whoever is going to be the CEO of the corp. will need to know everybody well, and be able to convince them to join. 3. What is the purpose of this corp.? Not just to be the best corp, but to take scout corps to the next level. I have never heard or seen of any corp with just scouts (except RON1N). However I want to be in or see a corp more than RON1N (don't get me wrong, RON1N is an excellent idea), a scout corp where it would be a graduation of scout corps like RON1N, which trains novice scouts. I understand that this idea seems to be a little far off, but think about it, wouldn't you enjoy this weird-ass game even more if you could play competitively (or for fun) with corp. mates that are some of the best (scout) players in the game? (This place would truly be paradise =P ) Minja. We run and hide. And then we kill you.

Seriously though, I don't plan on joining a scout corp, even if by any chance I happen to be part of the top 100 scouts. If I am actually part of the top 100 scouts. Holy ****.

Well that's why I stated this would be viable in 1.8, where scanners are nerfed and all the scouts will be essentially unseen (especially with cloaks) but I do agree with somewhat on the value of scouts outside of this corp. Also not many people run the proto scanners, especially in 1.8 and onwards. (Also think of those Gal scouts, they will be undetected....) Also, with AV as it is what kind of AV capacity would you have? We wouldnt have heavies with FG!

On that note, there hasn't really been a day I haven't been able to get a scout squad going in 0.H. So I'm peachy where I am. XD Indeed, chase me friend XD
