Master Marksman, Commando 0040, Scout 3000, Master Medic, Brawler 4000, Doctor 0004

(for a human) Reduce all Health and Action pools and substats to minimum, and raise Mind and its substats to max. Wear full armor and always play buffed.

Would this work?

If you want to PvP, my answer would be no. Your only combat would be the flamethrower, and its not that good until master commando. It still wouldn't be that good in PvE, again with only flame4. If you want medic and the flamethrower than go Master Commando with Master Medic. Flamethrower cannot be used in PvP unless you get master.

Are you looking for a good template for PvE or PvP? Or a little of both?

I haven't tried that exact combo and haven't looked extensively at it's advantages vs disadvantages but I do see a few flaws...

1) I don't see much defense...you can heal very well during battle, but with extensive mind drain...you'll take more damage then most templates which means you'll need to use more stims...and in turn weaken your mind (not really an issue if you buff well)...

2) A commando's main weakness is ranged attacks...The Flame Thrower is best for close battle, but kiters will know that and stay at least 20m from you at all times...you'll have to fall back on ranged attacks to deal with this...and I'm not sure enough ranged abilities (accuracy, speed, specials, etc) comes with just Master Marksman

If I had to make a quick analysis of your template...I'd say nice for PvE...bad for PvP...

And btw...lose the Scouting all together...get a Vehicle or Mount...you'll never miss Terrain Negotiation...plus it was recently announced that with Feb's Patch we should be able to call pets/mounts/vehicles anywhere...yet another reason to use the skill points from Scouting elsewhere...I would suggest Pistoleer or Smuggler with your current template (LowBlow is a nice ranged knockdown)...or as Tac might suggest (HI TAC), Rifleman for a bit of sniping...

Hope this helps...
