SCOUTED - A Synthwave Mix for Mechwarriors in the Steiner Scout Squad

[@Chromodar]

Compiling a detailed report of enemy movements is just so much less efficient than simply and truthfully reporting "Area clear".

[@SnakebitSTI]

All clear because they spotted you in time and ran away, or all clear because they did not. Simple.

[@DrDestructo]

"I have scouted the governor's mansion, no survivors. Moving to scout the rest of the city..."

[@Blueoriontiger]

"There are no more bees in my cockpit, I have lots of scouting to do today."

[@SplashMountain_EpicSave]

Friedrich Three here. No one knows I am here. For there are no survivors.

[@JasonSkye]

How many crit slots does a bee launcher take up? 🤔

[@Blueoriontiger]

@@JasonSkye Good question. I'm not too privy on slots, but I do know that 1500 yellow jackets can fit in roughly a 2-foot cube hive. So go off of math from there.

[@Blueoriontiger]

"I've just scouted an orphanage into the river. But it's alright, as it was full of Capellans."

[@stuartconrod8364]

Steiner scouts are the finest in the Inner Sphere. They *always* get the answer to "can the enemy stop a four-Atlas lance".

[@JasonSkye]

And thankfully the answer is always "NO" 😂

[@Johny40Se7en]

The commander reluctantly accepts the daring mission, knowing full well that they may not return from such an overwhelmingly tough contract. They walk across the cold galvanised catwalk with an eerie vibe looming over them, and coming to a halt at the front of their mech. They stare broodingly into the cockpit for a brief moment, then out of nowhere, a sudden jolt of bravery takes hold. They tell themselves that if this could be their last mission, then they're gonna make sure that it'll be one for the history books. They hop into their mech with a wonderful bravado, and get prepped ready to drop. *Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal* .

[@SplashMountain_EpicSave]

"Remember. Stealth is optional on this mission." All Hail the Steiner Scout Squad. Praise Z0rg.

Do bees in cockpits assist in stealth? 🤔

[@JasonSkye]

With enough tonnage you can create a gravitational field to bring the enemy to the Atlases!

[@jvt3888]

I hear Lyran manuals even recommend stepping on your enemy as a stealthy way to eliminate them

[@TheTrueAdept]

Surprisingly, the Steiner Scout Lance is an example of what is called 'fighting for information' or, in essence, poking the enemy with a stick and seeing what happens.

[@Armand10ify]

And they mostly find out if the enemy can defend against 4 atlases, they usually cant

[@AinzOolGownAllFather]

Can the enemy survive our probe? *4 Atlas later* No. No they cannot.

[@WiseguyThreeOne]

When I was in the brigade recon squadron in '04, we were told our mission was to find a fight we couldn't win on our own, then call in the main line. Those guys skip a step.

[@eliogabalopuzzetti496]

Once i had that 95 tons Banshee equipped with nothing but lots of armor, jump jets and its own fists. Good times. Yes i really used it for scouting.

I mean ... if you scout in a raven, you are small and quick enough to get away if you get spottet and attacked. if you scout in a lance of atlas mechs ... you might just also do the follow up assault mission after scouting. :D

[@iainhutchinson1957]

Ve have successfully scouted the enemy HPG uplink. It is a smoking crater. Returning to base.

A competently piloted commando is a royal pain in the arse. The trick is in tabletop and HBS BT, you don't stop moving. If you stop, you get waxed by anything 50 tons and up in two turns or less. Edit: spelling on mobile is also a pain in the arse.
