Wouldn't small Railguns be more fun if they worked like longer range Forge Guns? Makes LAVs into Forge guns on Wheels, less splash.
You need to at least bring sniper range down to 200m , there is no reason a handheld railgun should have more range than a Small Turret Railgun. There should be a clear progression.
Lowest Range
Ion pistol
Rail Rifle
Sniper Rail Rilfe
Small Rail Turret
Forge Gun
Tank Railgun Turret
Longest Range
Now go back to the drawing board keeping this weapon progression tree in mind. No. Leave us snipers alone. It's hard enough hitting running targets at 475m. Even harder if they are cloaked. Current sniper rifles have ranges exceeding 1,000 meters with good accuracy at that distance. In a couple of thousand years this won't likely decrease. Munch P.S. Hopefully your comments are related to April Fool's Day.
You seem to be forgetting your not on Earth anymore pretty boy.
Your on distant planets with constantly fluctuating gravities and unstable magnetic fields.
Your lucky your sniper round doesn't fire and fall straight to the ground at your feet, but it won't cause this is the unreal engine and all $100 CCP paid for it won't do you any good to be realistic.
But the fact that your shooting someone at 450 meters and can actually show 2 things.
1. The fact that someone renders that far away is an absolute blessing for you
2. The average distance across the map from outside objectives is about 350-500 meters, which means on average you are redline sniping padding that useless kdr of yours.
I agree snipers are kind of shunned in DUST, and need better treatment in the guns and overall usability department (Maybe a equipment that could paint enemy vehicles like battlefield would help the class be more useful), but maybe if the range of a sniperrifle were reduced it would force all you redline snipers into a more in game supportive role (maybe a 200-275 meter optimum range) on the battlefield so everyone wwouldn't just complain about redline snipers all day and you would get better treatment.
But hey, scouts are FOTM right now, if your an appropriate sniper, grab your proto scout and pick up a rifle till snipers get that boost they need.
Hmmm. The Meta is strong with this one...

Yes, I agree
All theseGUYS
cloak problems
-Forge gun problems
-Skill problems
They need a fix, bad.
But hey CCP, how about let's start with a basic problem of numbers
Like how my basic, Advanced, AND PROTO Basic Heavy suit STILL has militia CPU/PG values!
I specced into Cal heavy because I'm good at it, and I sometimes need the extra city push in PC. When suit fixes started going out, I thought, alright cool, I can go basic heavy proto and not sentinel to save 2 mil SP (because I have a low sp account) and because I didn't think the sentinel bonuses for cal heavy were all that great.
And yet here we are, 3 WEEKS LATER, and I'm still going into PC against Dirt Nap Squad DAILY with a basic heavy suit and 1100 ehp vs full proto heavies with 1700ehp+...
Why a basic heavy suit?
Cause what's the difference of a basic heavy suit and the proto version if all I do is fit the same exact things on them (leaving 3 high slots unused on proto) and paying tens of thousands of ISKS more for the proto suit?
I know sentinels are supposed to be better than basic heavies because of the increased sp needed for bonuses
BUT ******* CCP CMON, GIVE ME A BREAK
ITS BEEN THREE FREIKEN WEEKS AND A SIMPLE NUMBER CHANGE HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED
GET YOUR **** STRAIGHT GUYS
What about all those other new guys with just enough sp to get ONLY basic proto and they worked so hard for it just for it not to be worth a damn.
ALMOST ALL OTHER SUITS GOT FIXED, WHY NOT THESE?
Hmmm. The Meta is strong with this one...
