- Is there anywhere in the tree where the close range penalty is reduced (maybe with the accuracy bonuses)? Or do riflemen alwasy suck at anything less than 40m?

- How does cover work? You take cover and can you pretty much shoot all you want without getting attacked? Do certain specials give you up?

- Do most folks crank up the mind regen rate statsto get over the mind burn on specials?

The accuracy bonuses in the sniping tree help a lot in that reguard. You are never very effective at 40m but at the top of the sniping tree you aren't completely gimped.

Cover is supposed to give you defensive bonuses (harder for them to hit you) but they are so small that they are almost undetectable. Everyone I have seen pretty much says cover is worthless at present.

Yes buffing your mind regen and hit modifier (Willpower and Focus) is very important in heavy combat. There are many ideas on how to do this. But something as simple as a musician buff can do wonders for you.
