Please find a way to buff Sniper War Points. Maybe make head shots worth 100 WPs instead of 50. Right now I'm finishing games with 10-12 kills and only earning 500 or so.
As a sniper we survey the field, counter snipe, and protect points. None of which give us any War Points, even if the point is assigned by the squad leader we don't receive the bonus because we are to far away from the point. |

snipers should be able to scan enemies and get assists for that |

No to all of the above. As snipers we have the easiest time getting kills of perhaps anyone. We can shoot at people from over half a kilometre away, kill in one or two hits, and do so without most of our targets even being able to fire back. That is a tremendous advantage. Sniping is safe, it's powerful, and it's an easy way to get kills.
The trade-off for that is that we get rewarded suitably little for our efforts. We'll rarely top the WP totals, and as such we'll get comparatively less SP and ISK than people with similar kill counts. That's the price we pay for being the #1 killers in the game, and able to be as such from relative safety. |

Agreed Deluxe. We should also get the upped WPs for protecting an assigned target and taking enemies out from a distance at a designated capture point when our squad members are in the process of hacking it and/or while the virus is taking over the point. |

but i have toped the WP list as a sniper but that is because i am right next to my team capping points keeping other snipers and far off enemies away earning 2.5 times WP because of defense order.
plus it is a very isk effecient job. you die far fewer times in a mission than anyone else.
i just wish they would fix profiles and visuals to make my deaths even rarer. |

I agree with evergreen, snipers get the fewest deaths and the most kills. It takes skill to be a good sniper. If you have the skill you get enough wp. No need to enhance a snipers already sweet role :) |

i find dropships are far more useless, morons just sit in the gun boat flying around like a fat tard in circles so they don't get hit by kittens.
i hope they give kitten users the ability to speed their missiles soon. make the game a no fly zone. |

I don't want to eleminate snipers! Just headshot them. I'm a sniper only. Love it, but have to admit its already a pretty sweet deal. Very needed and effective class if played correctly. |

Neither Ambush nor Skirmish maps are without good places to snipe from. I don't agree with you at all, there.

This isn't what we're talking about in this thread. Playing infantry with a sniper rifle is different from being a sniper in the sense the OP described. |
