There may eventually even be a Recon role where the player's sole purpose is to have "eyes on target" so that friendlies down range can track enemy positions, this isnt so different from flying a Buzzard in Eve. They may not get credit or kill mail like those attacking, but any good scout knows that its the Eyes that have them.
Edit: I dont see anyone doing this in miscellaneous match, but in corp battles this would be invaluable. |

Hence why you have Electronics or Cloak Jammers, or possibly even radar detection that shows people above scout cloaked.  |

On the contrary, I think CovOps should be able to sprint while cloaked, if a CovOps ship can Warp while Cloaked. Why cant a CovOps Scout sprint? |

Yeah, but in a corp battle you can gurantee they will have AA & AV players for keeping themselves hidden. Silent eyes for lighting up targets would have a highly tactical use, and with the obvious lack of SP gain, the corps would have to pay these spies to forego being able to fight/play for Skill & Warpoints. Kind of like how the intelligence community in the military are the unsung heroes of keeping ground forces informed.
Edit: Also snipers obviously are an asset to identifying the positions of enemies down range. Who knows, maybe the Command Suits will have binoculars or some other form of SITREP awareness. Though, communication between Scouts and Commanders would help to know where to flank and where the weak points in an enemy's defense are. |
