I'm not exactly new but i've been sniping so long i don't know how to really play they field and i'm trying to learn. I just need some advice on how to move about on the maps even when my team is losing badly. It honestly makes me wanna go back to sniping because then even if my team is losing i can still do well.
Also is there anything i can do against these scouts by myself or should i just leave that area alone when one is guarding it? I run a caldari commando frame with advanced assault railgun and militia assault gun for secondary. with 2 shield extenders and a nanohive.

The first thing to do is stop running by yourself. Even if you are not in a squad, find a group of 2 or 3 guys and stick to them like glue. Wherever they go, you go. By running with others, you are less likely to get snuck up on and shotgunned in the back (it will still happen but not as frequently). You will also, if you run into two or three enemies instead of 1, be MUCH more likely to survive the encounter and possibly even get a kill or two yourself. Also, with commando, run with either uplinks or nanohives. If you are running with heavies, throw on a repair tool and keep them alive. The better you help them out and keep them alive, the more likely it is that you will survive.

The better you help them out and keep them alive, the more likely it is that you will survive. There was a player, can't remember his name, who was EXACTLY like you. Then we got together and said "Run Logi". Now he is a serious asset when he plays. Some players are just not slayers. I am not a slayer. I'm a harasser OR supporter. Harassers are people that have gotten good enough to hold their own against slayers but typically lose in the end BUT they have the added ability to properly support a group or just be the biggest A$$ holes in the game. Basically, we make proto stompers lives miserable. Thokk nailed it. Stick to other groups but bring a rep tool or ammo with you or an injector. If you run with a suit that has more than one equipment, it is very common to run injector and ammo or injector and rep tool. Although scanners aren't completely viable anymore, it isn't "stupid" to run with one as this can tell you, roughly, where the enemy is and where to avoid. You can also join squads mid battle. Before you spawn in, press the select button, select the "team" chat, wait for it to load as it can take a second, then select a squad of the most people that have a slot available. Join that squad if you can. If you can't, join another one. They will share valuable information. If you don't have a mic it's not a big deal in most cases. Remember, if you don't have a mic you can still turn on the ability to hear them through your TV speakers through your Playstation settings.
