I'm not seeing much in the way of a better 'scope' if you know what i mean. I'll keep trying for now and see if it gets any better. I think i need to look at my fit too and get some damage amp's on there. Need the Advanced Scout Suit too. And A'Real, i'm sitting close to my desk but i'd rather use a 37" screen than my 23" monitor. :) Good suggestion though, thanks. I'm seriously considering getting that controller too.
Don't bother with ADV weapons yet. it's about a 5% damage increase for an extra 10-15k ISK per item, which just isn't worth it when you're still learning the game. Stick to the basic TSR- the scope is bad on all SRs, you can't escape that.
Get yourself a few dropships and practice flying them until you can safely get yourself to the top of a building. Once there, put down a drop uplink so you don't need to fly any more. I recommend a logi suit, for more damage mods and equipment. Scout-sniper is not as good of a pairing in this game as you'd initially think, since you don't need that little bit of movement speed, and getting OHK'd by enemy snipers is hardly ideal.
Anyway, this will give you excellent views of many parts of the map, and it's easier to land headshots from above. Focus on landing the first shot to the head, and then just hitting at all with the follow ups. The TSR is designed as one clip -> one kill.

With an alt do they get the basic 500k SP too or is it only your main? And can you swap SP gain over?
Yes, they get 500k too. However, I would probably just stick with what you've already got- eventually you'll want more than one role on that character.
If you want to run a logi suit, help your team, AND snipe:
Look around for the rookie forums for the Markman guide (too lazy to link), which is basically a guide on how to SMG/Sniper your way through general combat with a squad. Basically, the SMG's DPS is as good as an AR within ~25m. Combine that with the new ADV Amarr logi suit (sidearm, 3 equip, 3 high 3 low) and you've got a solid frontline sniper with space for at least basic logi equipment (uplink/hive/stick). |
