The Pointmen

[Hazzbeen]

Hi I am new here and being prior military infantry (Marine Corps 0341) myself I thought of patrols and the importance of a good pointman / pointmen / lead convoy vic.

The people at the front of the formation that see everything first and report it to the command unit/center that may or may not be in sight of the objective. w/ fleets maybe they are 1-2 jump points ahead letting the still in quantum fleet know what they are about to be headed into or recon and scout the path in teams and make intel reports that could alter the entire fleets route. Maybe they are scouting for a stealth bomb run to hit a pirate trade post. Who knows?.. sky's the limit.or...space.....w/e

Maybe a 2 man team with a hornet ghost/hornet tracker. or any other combination of stealthy or  ships w/ enhanced scanning capabilities.

Maybe they can jump to a system that the fleet cannot due to jump point size limitations or what not. 

I am not sure if someone else has posted anything like this. If so please drop a link. I would love to brainstorm a bit.

I don't mean to self bump at all..... but what they spoke about on around the verse w/ the scanning and forward scouting is EXACLTY along the lines of what I was trying to get into  

That danger in scouting with thrill of gathering live enemy intel and informing the massive fleet awaiting that crucial intel to make real time combat decisions.....my palms are sweating....

CIG is clearly better at articulating good ideas and turning them into content (thank goodness)

any1 else? Bueller?
