But apparently, doing any kind of meaningful change to the sniper rifles is either impossible within the game engine, or impossible since they aren't releasing any major client updates.
Sniper rifle with bullet drop & travel time was removed in Open Beta, Experimental Sniper Rifle in militia weapon category, so very few player know about it & was using it. Weapon not exist anymore but projectile class for it still there. And it has "explosive" dmg type.

Maybe CCP can put it back with hotfix  like placeholdeer for Precision (Minmatar) Sniper Rifle or just for fun & lulz, it was very fun shooting & actually kill someone with it 
It's just "by design" Rail (Caldari) Sniper Rifles has bullet velocity of 2500m/sec, and max range is 600m. There logically can't be any bullet drop nor travel time. Read the description.

I don't think so  CCP nor CMP don't like me, they think i'm very offensive against them & just will ignore any of my feedback or suggestion.

That will just turn RAIL sniper rifle into regular (projectile) sniper rifle, that won't happen ever, due to it's against game universe & racial technology.
Though it's easily can be implemented via hotfix like variation of current SR or placeholder with same model & animation as Rail Sniper Rifle. If it will by itroduced like Precision (or Minmatar) Sniper Rifle that will be introduction of new content, which most likely is not on their priority list nor plans for Dust.
