It's called scout.
Uprising may bring around the legitimate Scout, - Sniper. |

Sniper suits will probably benefit from generic scout bonuses... better sensor strength and smaller signatures. Don't know if there will be sniper-specific skills at the suit level... perhaps CPU-use reduction, or a % reduction/level to sig radius, etc... |

sensor strength and smaller signature doesn't matter if you are across the map on a perch. Nobody's passive scanner will reach that far anyway, and you will still light up if someone spots you with crosshairs. Scout suit only offers the bonus of agility and speed, if you are trying to climb weird rocks, or if you change positions often. Assault suit on the other hand gives you twice the survivability against counter snipers if you are going for overwatch.
Either is worthwhile depending on your playstyle, but natural scout dampening doesn't mean squat for a sniper. |

Just go heavy, so you can survive counter snipers. |

That's my rationale for this build
But if the Scout Suit is able to avoid Tac Net detection, overhead map is fixed, and sniper rifles become slightly more stealthy, finding a sniper may become more difficult. |

That's exactly as it should be...
Have to admit, I hate it when I'm getting sniped too. |

Unless something has massively changed, you'll want to be an arrmor tanked assault when you snipe (given there are still damage mods for the high slots).
I am hoping the sniper mechanic has been fixed.
PLZ! No auto reloading and firing randomly. |

Like all play styles available; it depends on how you want to play that playstyle. Personally I'd choose a logistics suit, since any benefits you want to have as a sniper can be applied via modules, to a good logi suit. |

Gallente and caldari assaults have some sort of bonus with Hybrid weapons, which if I'm not mistaken includes Sniper Rifles. |

The scout suit sucks as a sniper because if you trip over a rock you lose half your life. I have died in a scout suit by falling off of a rock that was literally shorter than my character. CCP needs to fix that weird environmental damage from sliding two feet down a hill in the next build. |
