I still snipe from time to time and I say they're fine (except for the hit detection and lack of headshot multiplier). Maybe a little more damage at proto wouldn't hurt.

Thanjac Ruthless Chaos 5	Posted - 2014.02.15 19:41:00 - [10] - Quote Why should all snipers need to be charged, I know this is not real, but in real life there is not a "charge" sniper Proud Commando/ARC Instructor "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Hagintora Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 194	Posted - 2014.02.15 20:13:00 - [15] - Quote I get what you're saying. All the rest of the Caldari Rail Tech has a spool up time except for the Sniper Rifle, but never gave it a thought until your post.
Awry Barux New Eden Blades Of The Azure Zero-Day 620	Posted - 2014.02.15 20:21:00 - [16] - Quote My lore reasoning would be that since it's firing one shot at a time, it doesn't need to charge, because the capacitors have time to recharge in between shots. It's small enough that capacitors can safely store a full shot's charge continuously. The RR requires priming to maintain full auto, and the FG and large rail are so huge that there's no way to pre-charge.
Godin Thekiller OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1703	Posted - 2014.02.15 20:26:00 - [17] - Quote Huh, good point. 'lights cigar' fuck with me, and I'll melt your face off. Gallente forever! Blup Blub Bloop. Translation: Die -_-

It's like the AR, then. It has [almost] all the variants because there's only one available, and when the racial snipers ate released, people will complain if CCP wants to take away the variants. The charge will be Caldari's prime sniper, but the Tactical will be Gallente's or something like that. I see what you're saying. +1

Monkey MAC Rough Riders.. 1975	Posted - 2014.02.15 23:45:00 - [21] - Quote No, the Std Variation should be charge as per caldari methods, but not until we have snipers for the other races. Spkr4thedead: Me > AV This is why tanks are unbalanced Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.
Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 4045	Posted - 2014.02.15 23:51:00 - [22] - Quote Yep. They probably will be once precision rifles (minmatar sniper rifles) are released. I am your scan error.

Edit: I'm not saying making the snipers charge would be a good or bad thing, just that by observing the other caldari weapons that it seems the sniper should be a charge weapon in general. For the rail variants probaby, and same for 'laser snipers' if we ever see them. But projectile is a non-charge variety.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2584	Posted - 2014.02.21 15:45:00 - [28] - Quote Sinboto Simmons wrote: Technically speaking shouldn't all the snipers be charge weapons? Edit: I'm not saying making the snipers charge would be a good or bad thing, just that by observing the other caldari weapons that it seems the sniper should be a charge weapon in general. Sniper Rifle is a lot bigger than the Rail Rifle and Pistols. It has larger capacitors and is capable of holding a charge in standby mode for the duration of the battle. Power used to propel the slug is replenished between shots. The Tactical Sniper rifle uses less power, which allows it to have a faster rate of fire, at the cost of reduced damage. The Charged Sniper Rifle uses more power than can be maintained on standby mode, thus requiring a charge time, but has the benefit of doing more damage. The officer version is able to maintain a much higher charge on standby mode, and recharges faster due to high quality, more expensive, components. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014
LAVALLOIS Nash QcGOLD 5	Posted - 2014.02.21 16:00:00 - [29] - Quote When I started playing I decided to pick up a SR after I realized that the Militia AR was nothing more than a water gun. Militia Sniper is a 5hk on some targets. with a 3 round clip. As for all SR beings Charge, i dont think i would like this too much. I hate the high pitched whine sound. ill admit, it takes some getting used to once you switch to the Charge. But a NT-511 or its more expensive ishukone variant, with its 5 round semi auto clip, can rain down hell on a moments notice on a group of people. The Charge a is more tactical and patient type. Making all SRs charge would affect the balance of SR.
Alternate Insano SUICIDE SPITE SQUAD 122	Posted - 2014.02.21 16:22:00 - [30] - Quote My first alt is a sniper. I saw the big maps and thought it would be awesome. I was wrong. SRs suck! you just can't zoom in enough. When I still snipe I use the Kaal Tac, mostly to put down dmg to RR rooftop guys so my team can finish them easier. I went SR operation 5, Prof 1, and even took hand helds to 3 for the enhanced dmg mods. What a waste of SP. If we get a respec for 1.8 I'm never taking a shot past 70m again. As far as the charge thing, make it a charge sr for whatever race uses the scrambler or other charge up guns, keep the projectile variants minmatar, and give the gals a slingshot. DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not. There is no balance.

Once they align, the gun automatically fires. Frightening ****. http://tracking-point.com/ Have you seen my baseball?
