I've been thinking about investing some SP into snipers, you know for those redline moments. Is the scout dropsuit a must for snipers??? Or I'm better off with assault/logi, for better shields/weapon upgrades??? I already tried the Charge Sniper Rifle, it doesn't 1 shot but I didn't have weapon upgrades....gets close to 1 shotting the basic dropsuits though.... |

well I use logi for sniping, that way I have more power and cpu for hp, ammo, extra weapons and damage mods.
I rarely red line snipe but when I do it's the same as my standard sniping build. |

If I get redlined I man up an break through in my logi suit! Side arms are for kittens!
Don't accept the redline break out and make the other team pay in blood sweat and delicous tears! |

One should never stop assaulting a base, just drop down to starter fits, and keep going |

You can have a Sniper + 2 Complex Damage Mods on a Miltia suit, only catch is that is ALL you can have.
I've got a Charge Sniper + 2 Complex Damage Mods + Weaponry lvl V, the Charge alone does 266 damage, enough to kill a Scout, Logibro and maybe an Assault, depending on what Dropsuit they have and what mods they're using.
With all the modifications to my Charge and the skills I've upgraded I think I should be doing 345.8 Damage, overkill? Maybe. This is most likely certain to take out Assault, any Logi Suit, any Scout suit, depending on their skills and mods and do a lot of damage to Heavies (Atleast enough to make him think twice about pushing forward, in fear he might lose his pricey suit)
I've only been looking into working on a Sniper fit for about one day, so this may or may not be the most effective fitting. |

I'm going to be honest, and admit that I leave the battle on days where my time is limited. It's not fun and a waste of time getting redlined in a *pub* match. That's not to say a good challenge isn't welcome, but if the teamwork completely falls apart it becomes an exercise in futility. However, before reaching that point I will try to bust out with a hacked drop uplink to get people back in the game. And if we have a drop ship pilot (that knows what the kitten he is doing) even better.

I'll just say I've done the math and the difference between giving up early to let the other team redline you, and putting up a decent fight in cheap fits can be near 50k isk even if you lose and almost 100k isk if you win. So if you just give up after an early redline you are basically giving each person on the other team something like 50k-75k free isk...(depending on the length of the match). |

so, in other words, it's completely inconsequential. |

Using subdreddit logic, I suppose so. But I mean you guys should already know how to farm isk, what do you need my advice for... |

Something with Drop Uplinks. Sneak around and place one. There, no longer being red lined.
It is not that hard to stop getting red lined. |

I SOOOO want friendly fire to blow you blue snipers away. I would take the WP penalty and isk. You cripple any possibility of a comeback when you snipe. Even if your team recaptures 1 or 2 points in the back if all the blues are just sniping they can't advance with sniper rifles and won't have the time to refit and exploit the capture. The only time it pays to do that is if you are close in clones and there isn't much time left anyway.
If its close in clones and you are relatively equal in MCC hitpoints GTFO of the redline!!! |
