  • Give exp for scouting

I am not sure how you would do this.

But it would be nice if people who scout could get exp for using the scouts.

In All Welcome games if you have somebody who is willing to drive his scouts to find the enemy CVs instead of rushing to the front to kill things your team has a big advantage.

Scouts = life in BB/CL/CA or CL/CA games. If your team doesn't scout then your screwed.

Give people a reason to carry scouts (For those of you who have played with/against me lately you know this is a subject that kinda Torqs me off a bit since I seem to be the only person who CARRIES scouts sometimes)

Give people a reason to use scouts.

My Team won a Non-Capped BB game one morning this week. Carm managed to kill Smedd and a couple of other good BBs.

Carm got good Exp.

I got none.

But the reason the team won was that I just sat back and drove my scout around (In games with these players you need to be able to drive the scout because the shoot them down almost as fast as you launch them unless you keep them just out of AA range.)

Without these scouts the team would have lost. The only reward I got was the Team Creds.

Just a suggestion

It definately would be nice if you got a small percentage of experience earned within view of your scouts. It would also be hard to balance it properly. TeamNF also doesn't seem to like designing code that is easy to alter so even if they decide to do it, it would probably take them half a year.

I agree. and if a CL hits an enemy ship that has been spotted by a scout, give more cred/xp. sinking it= more cred/xp

I must say I like this idea and recommended it. I'm one of those poor sobs who carry scouts as well, as I'm KM I hardly have a choice actually. A method for calculating how much EXP you might get could be like getting a little bit EXP everytime you spot a ship that hasn't been spotted before. This would help CV get a little bit more EXP as well, they have more planes and thus can spot more ships. It would make that 'spotted an enemy ship' message a bit more worth your while as well! The return shouldn't be too big though since this might lead to abuse, but still, good idea!
