In any case, I think that making the sniper class more viable might bring them closer to the fight. A lot of the fear behind a sniper staying in the redline is how vulnerable we are. No real ability to fight in a concerted engagement makes it really, really risky to come in closer, especially since the class IS so weak, and has no benefit to up-close combat. We have to fit ridiculously expensive modules to make us even remotely effective- this makes people afraid to come closer. Unless you have all sniper skills to lvl 5 and fit nothing but proto, you might as well go play militia assault.
Usually, I die because a proto fitted redline sniper shoots me down while i am hacking an objective.
But that doesn't matter for me that much since I can just hunt them down after respawning. I actually like redline snipers. It's just fun to kill them after sneaking up on them in my Caldari scout.

We want to balance the weapon, not listen to people that are just going to take away from the discussion by derailing it or spitefully adding in things because they hate the role in general.
Flag "fix the redline" posts because they're derailing, trolling, and generally disrespective of the conversation. 'Fix the redline' is the entirety of the conversation about snipers. How can you possibly 'balance' a role without addressing the fact that the role is immune to receiving damage from players in any other role? ADS', tanks, forgers, n drive by heavies say otherwise. And at the absolute very LEAST the reticule needs to change, hard to hit uplinks n such at higher end ranges.
In my book, drive by heavies are worse than redliners, because at least you can weave/butterfly to avoid being sniper bait.

When I snipe, I usually get in close to the action so I have a better chance of actually hitting something. how the redliners get hits, I don't know.
