A bit early I know but since CCP Rattati has mentioned they're going to be looked at in hot fix Delta and I've been running Sniper rifles recently I thought I'd give my opinions.
The biggest issue currently facing Snipers is that it takes a proto rifle, with some ****** damage mods, 5 shots to down a heavy (or 2 headshots and some change), often I don't even bother trying to kill them.
This has helped create a situation where heavies can waddle from point to point without fear of being killed
Therefore I think sniper rifles should get damage bonus to heavies (excluding commandos), nothing too significant but enough for them to rethink their assault playstyle. It would also help take out tanked sentinels thale sniping in the red-line
I think Scouts are in a decent place, they can be downed in one with a body shot if not armour tanked (which makes the easier to hit anyway) and quick Caldari Scouts are bloody hard to hit.
Medium suits are fine as well, basic can be taken out with a headshot and there's a balance between speed and armour. |

Any buff to the sniper rifle damage without changing the range will unfortunately benefit those redline sniping.
But in the current setup redline sniping is nothing more than annoying, akin to someone spamming REs.
A possible fix is increase damage, reduce optimal range but keep effective range, so that at 400m the damage is the same as the current setup. This benefits those willing to put themselves at risk . |

Considering sniper rifle changes without thinking about the effect it will have on people using the redline will not lead to balance |
