I think that when it comes out in 2023, it will be terribad as a sniper rifle. Think about it, a LASER sniper rifle. I also think it will be a charge or just regular.
Lol stealth lol.
Any other ideas on what it will be like?

The Laser Sniper Rifle will probably only work in the 236-239m range. It won't do any damage anywhere else, and even the Rail Sniper Rifle will outDPS even in its own optimal. It will be terribly UP. It will probably overheat after 10 shots and instakill the user with 1500 overheat damage too..

In EVE short range lasers are called Pulse lasers so I equate this to the scrambler rifle. The long range is beam lasers so I would say "in theory" the laser rifle should be the Amarrian equal to the sniper rifle. |

doesn't really need to be bad.
I believe an ammar sniper rifle would fire a high speed, low recoil plasma based sniper rounds, this would result in firing multiple shots in rapid succession without the recoil throwing off your aim like the current rifles do.
of course they would be lower damage, but for harassing purposes this weapon would likely be close to unequal.
honestly I could see this type of sniper rifle almost being full auto.
that said as mentioned above the laser rifle will likely be repurposed into the amarr sniper rifle, I don't believe we will ever see another sniper rifle released. |

I foresee it being like the beam laser sniper rifle from HALO.
It'll deal good damage, but the beam will "linger" in the air giving people a heads up to where the sniper is.

This pretty much. It's been crippled for a while, but the laser used to nearly match the long range and power of the sniper rifle, and was a fantastic counter to it.

And just for a heads up, the laser rifle is not the Amarr sniper rifle, so don't even suggest that. That's not to say that the Amarr sniper rifle won't also utilize beam lasers, it could.

Since laser rifles are getting a range buff in 1.8, I'm guessing they'll be the amarr sniper rifles.
Barring artillery, caldari are the longest range.
I am your scan error.

Darn. Well, I dreamt up my own design. Sooo... what will the Amarr anti-material light weapon be? Sort of like the Spartan Laser? or entirely new?

I think it should be more like the charge shot of the Scrambler Rifle but with longer range and in a frequency outside of visible light so that it doesn't draw a line right back to the sniper.
So, charged shot, higher shield than armor damage and a better headshot bonus than the Caldari weapon. It should have the second best sniper range as well, with Minmatar at third and Gallente in last place. The Gallente weapon should one shot kill just about anything but require a reload after each shot like the plasma cannon.

Yeah, I think the Gallente should be a breach variant of the sniper rifle, or charge. But yes, high damage and shorter range. Maybe a clip size of 2, with a long reload.

The whole point of a sniper is to remain hidden. Producing a beam that reveals your location to the entire map would be a very bad idea. The LR works because it's in that medium range where you can use cover and support your squad from the rear while staying mobile.
Even though it breaks the lore somewhat, I would prefer to see an Amarr sniper rifle work like a long ranged standard scrambler rifle (possibly with a headshot bonus).
Best PvE idea ever!

Well... the scrambler rifle has a beam. And yes, it should definitely have a bigger headshot bonus.

The laser rifle both has certain grand advantages over a sniper rifle, and obvious drawbacks. The various long-range precision weapons should operate and feel very different.

Should be a scrambler shot and instead of a charge up before the shot it would charge after the shot. It would be giving you one powerfully charged shot so would need the charge up time.
The catch would be that it would do only one shot at a time with a 1 sec or so charge up. It would have a range less than the Caldari rifle but longer than the Minny or Gallente. It would build up heat with each shot and that would be separate from the charge time so it would overheat if firing 3 to 5 shots as soon as it charges.
It would do the same damage up to its optimal with little effective.
So, it would be closer to the Caldari as a tactical long range rifle as opposed to the Minny and Gal which by all rights should be close range marksman rifles. Although the Minny should be able to do some damage in its falloff that would be somewhat less than the Cal.

Yeah, seriously. A laser sniper rifle would be like mounting a laser scope on a sniper rifle in RL. Lol.

So you're suggesting a mandatory charge? Doesn't follow the Amarrian tactical-style, semi-auto weapons, but certainly a possible implementation.

This was my original point. I would like to see the Ammar sniper rifle act in this sort of way so as to prevent camping, and add to the difficulty of using it. It should be a more tactical weapon, requiring skill to use efficiently. It's insane headshot damage and alpha damage a tad lower than the Charge Sniper Rifle would make it ideal for skilled snipers.
