Scouts are the people who range ahead of, and follow behind, the fleets to let us know what is out there for us to hit, or that is going to hit us. A good scout (or three) is important for every fleet. I honestly don't know enough about scouting to tell you much about how to do it, it involves going places, seeing what is there, using DScan, combat probes and sometimes just jumping from place to place, to find what is in system and where. Genuine scouts will always be in cloaked ships, usually cov-ops frigates, as a scout should not be engaging enemies, or be able to be found to be engaged. I hope someone writes something more comprehensive here about scout skills and how it is done, but this is about as much as I know so will have to do for now. | |||
