I was reading through some of the posts about ways to make the class more Sniperish. One idea was giving us a move that would take us off the radar. After reading a bit more someone said that that was impossible to do and the devs would not even consider it. So what about just changing the color of our dot to the opposing faction. Instead of us be flaming red dots, why not change us to yellow like an animal or,even, blue! Or maybe even let us pick what color for a certain situation.(And of course that move would make us untabbable.) These are just some of my ideas because it's snowing and they have cancelled school! Woot!

it isnt going to happen because this is not a FPS. it is realtime turn based combat. removing anyone from the radar or making them untargetable by tabbing or whatever key you use wont happen because it basically makes you invulnerable for a short time to any meaningful return fire. this could be done in a true FPS because of the nature of combat, you dont have to target a player to fire in a FPS. in turn based combat you have to select a target before you can fire. you cant just spray and pray in the general direction of the enemy. so basically snipers would be invulnerable to any real return fire. that is why it wont happen.

hope that explains it.

This has been discussed for months and will never happen.
