I'm completely for this, I mean I love the charge sniper and I love counter sniping. Oh the joy I get when I snipe a sniper about to fire on my teammates. And anything to make people stand out more is fine with me.
That being said, sorry but a little increase in profile really wouldn't matter. I assume you don't snipe, but take it from someone who does, that split second trail is plenty easy to follow if you're patiently waiting. On top of that, right now with lv5 dropsuit command and profile dampening + 2 complex profile dampener modules you can get to 100% scan profile reduction. (they don't negatively stack) But if you happen to be able to spot me with a 5 or 10 profile while I'm charging and you're within scanning range I'll have you on mine as well so I'd take out my sub instead and there goes your blip. |

I like this idea. I like to snipe myself, despite the fact I'm no good at it (I don't have a fast enough trigger finger yet). I agree that sometimes it's hard to tell where a sniper is ... but you also have to remember the "Fire" indicator. That red, curved bar that appears on your screen indicating which direction you're taking fire from. Even if you miss the sniper trail, you can still catch the fire indicator.
Sorry, somewhat off topic. You should try the charge sniper. It fires upon releasing the trigger not pressing it. I personally find it takes more patience but less reflexes. And with weaponry lv5 and some complex light damage mods you can easily get a charge sniper up (starts at 266dmg, + 33% from lv5 and just 2 mods = 353) so that it's one hit kill even with body shots on anything but a heavy thus making the fire indicator useless. Also, I noticed where it says damage modification, stacking them actually works positively, not negatively as it says it does.
Back on topic, I personally love, and always use the charged but I do agree it currently is a little op. Rethinking it, the trail could be a little longer or stand out a tad more, at least for the charged. |
