I would prefer to have bullet drop start after 100m on a sniper rifle rather than reduce range. Then long range sniping would take a lot of player skill.
This seems to be very much needed but ultimately only if the ability to perform the intelligence role is there.

It would be good if any squad member could place an attack order, just have it yellow instead of red if they are not the Squad Lead. This would allow Snipers to also be spotters.
Your proposal is interesting but thwarts the coherence of roles in game. That spotter ability is a staple of scouts and that ability should be reserved for them. Hence, not the weapon (sniper rifle) but the merc (scout role suit) should acquire new spotter abilities. Giving this ability to everyone in squad is giving too much out for too many. Keeping the asymmetric game play coherent is possibly the difficult part of any balance pass in Dust. If the feeling is that scouts already have too much on their plate then make it a feature requiring both scout AND sniper rifle. Scouts in sniping roles are already a rarity due to their squishiness and this would make such a choice a balanced one.

I think that your Corp owning a district should give Planetary Interaction (PI) bonuses in EVE, so that if your Corp owns a few districts on the same planet then EVE characters in your Corp would be able to get PI yields on a Low Sec planet which would be equivalent to production levels that would normally only be seen on a Null Sec planet. (PI yields are highest in Null Sec and lowest in High Sec.) I also think that 10% of the Corp Tax on PI operations should be paid to the Corp in DUST ISK, while the other 90% would go to the Corp's EVE wallet. This would create a cross game benefit for EVE and DUST characters to work together in Planetary Conquest.
This feels so right I can't even begin to explain! An expanded win-win cooperation (synergy) scenario between players of Eve and Dust is a must have in the new ported edition of Dust514 (it's coming... be patient...). It's, imho, probably the single most important feature DUST514 should have in its porting process. Bring Eve to Dust!!! Make it really attractive for Eve corps to dive into Dust514 to maximise Eve side revenue! ECONOMICS GUYS!!!!! Ugh... I stress myself too much with this...
Thanks for the, once again, excellent post Fox.
See you all around...
