I agree with many of your points, they came off a little weird, but I get it, the new aiming has thrown off my sniping to the point I no longer snipe, I quit sniping the moment I tried it, it didn't take long for me to find out that it wasn't worth dealing with, it was bad enough just dealing with the info clutter. I think part of the issue is that non of the suits support sniping, if you look at the suits we have now you'll see that non of them provide points for long range combat, all the scout suits provide buffs for Scan Range, pointless if you're miles from the target, and the Minmatar buffs Melee and Nova Knife damage. What doesn't is that only two modules help snipers, Profile Dampeners and Precision Enhancers are the only mods that help, oh and Damage-mods. What I'm trying to say is that the way the game is built now doesn't support sniping, even the Chromsome build didn't help. The only thing we as snipers can do is ether persevere and keep trying to adapt or we can wait till the game finally has a real place for us, but for now were the the guy stuck in the back of the bus.
What I propose is that we get some Sniper Suits, the Scout Suits are nice, but they lean more towards CQC then sniping. Maybe they could make cloaking a Sniper Suit exclusive feature, as a trade-off cloaking should drain our shields and the suits should have low recharge rates and have a slightly higher Recharge Delay. They would also have higher Profile, unlike a CQC Scout they wouldn't need it as much and would help with balance, this would also make active scanners more useful. The should have no grenades, I'm not sure if they should have a lower CPU or PG, I'm sure one of those things need to be lower to help with the trade-off for being invisible. They could also make a passive mod design to detect Active Scanner use, which would alert the Sniper of being scanned but not tell them if they have been detected, this would then force the Sniper to to ether flee in fear of detection or hold out in confidence of not being detected. Another equipment could be made to counter the Active Scanner, like an Active Dampener, when a scan is preformed it would distort the results and tell the Scanner an error %, which informs that ether there is an enemy lying in wait, or it might just be a trick to make them think it's a ruse.
I'm sorry if I got off topic, I just wanted to contribute to what you already said without repeating you, I also hope I made sense, what do you guys think? |
