Scouts are meant for this. IMO the best set up with scouts as far as high and low slots is just to use profile dampeners, range amplifiers, and precision enhancers.
They're called scouts because they're supposed to scout the otherteam.

Which one do you prefer and why? Personally, I like the logi more because of higher # of modules and shields/armor. I haven't used the scout dropsuit so I really don't know what I am missing. I feel that snipers don't really need a secondary weapon so the logi suit seems right for me. My current sniper setup:

-Logi type 2
-Tactical Sniper
-2 Damage mods
-Armor repair
-Armor plates
-Nanohive
-Drop Uplink

I'm going to feel sorry for this.

Logistics a-type

2x complex damage
complex shield

2x adv. Plate
militia armor rep

nanohive
uplink

sniper
grenade

I've thought about trying this, but I usually prefer the mobility of a Scout. I also find myself needing that sidearm more than I'd like.

Does having very low profile makes you undetected by eye or it's just by radar? Because if it's the radar, then in most cases the sniper doesn't need it, because you rarely encounter someone near you since you're far away and even in your team's redline.

I think one thing you forget is that whilst it is preferable to have two equipment slots and the ability to fit an additional damage mod, at some point someone is going to take an intrest in putting you in the dirt, and when that happens its always nice to have an SMG to let that person know you don't appreciate being shot back at.

Personally I prefer a run and gun sniper fit. An Assault suit with Rifle and SMG, Remotes and Damage mods. This I think is perhaps the best sniper/counter sniper fit that leaves me still able to be a part of the team instead of a useless body in the hills.

when i see a logi with a sniper rifle one word comes to mind: garbage.

when i see a scout with a sniper rifle, i think, free kill.

here's a thought. stop using a sniper rifle and play the actual game.
better yet, there's a whole franchise devoted just for you:

I want to hear some updated discussion on this topic since the new bonuses in uprising. im thinking going logi sniper but not sure which to skill for racial bonuses, im not good at running and gunning sooo ....
i was thinking for me
dont need caldari logi cuz shield extenders not worth it,
minmatar would be nice if i were running around capping objectives but usually im not. and is also almost as fast as scout
gallente for ease of fitting CPU & PG heavy mods and weps
amarr for the stacking bonuses of armor reps

then as mentioned b4 if i died or was bored and committed suicide i would respawn in my camping spot in heavy sniping suit which if i went amarr logi would use similar skills for armor tanking and could shrugg off shots alot easier

thoughts anyon
