Agreed.
The whole point of sniping is one shot one kill. Not many weak shots, enemy runs away.
But if alpha is increased then too much like projectiles so not sure how to fix.
However, something should be done.
(Change the moa model )

As far as fitting goes, rails are the easiest to fit compared to tachs and 1400's (leaving megabeams out of this). Also, rokh/mega/amarr bs are the only effective fleet snipers capable of hitting 200km+ (mega gets close). Rails having highest optimal is a great bonus, that is why mega is the only viable long range sniper without a range bonus.
I doubt rails are the easiest to fit when putting them on the ships they are for(rails on an Amarr ship ). Just look at the eagle for example. Optimal would be great if you could actually do something with it but at this point its like sniping with a nerf gun. IMO optimal range bonuses are a waste much like kinetic damage only. Most of the time the bonuses are destroyed do to the ammo and then u have a gimped ship.

A lot of problems would get fixed by lowering the kinetic resists of ships. Probably T2s because only minmatar T2 ships are naturally weak to kinetic.
This would help hybrids and make Caldari's ridiculous kinetic lust more acceptable.

Now stop moaning and start them goddamn skills already.
We might as well all fly the same damn ship then.

A new third hybrid weapon is an interesting idea and yes we are that special. Let this new weapon handle med ranges.
Railguns are supposed to be THE sniper weapon right? So make them Completely that, give them huge alpha, huge cap usage per shot, and make each gun only hold 1 charge. Tracking should be fine for long range already.

Of the suggestions offered so far, I like the idea of increasing rails' base optimal a lot - as Liang said, it's effectively a damage bonus that only applies if you're operating at a (long) distance, which is in keeping with the general 'flavour' of rails.
Pair that with a significant PG boost for the Moa, Ferox, and Eagle, and you'd be on to a winner.
I disagree. Increasing base optimal can be a damage boost, however, This will make charges like iron useless and will cause increased cap usage. I'd rather just have a damage boost...

if lasers are so good why don't everyone fit tachyons and mega pulses to their gallente/caldari BS?
I haven't tried but considering how hard it is to fit 425mm to Rokh I suspect there would be serious fitting issues.

It¦s not hard to fit 425mm II¦s on a Rokh..
So your saying it would be easy to fit Tachs on a Rokh?

On the subject of making railguns 'unique,' how about doing something like this:
Give all BS railguns the same dps (probably a little higher than 425's now)
Make 250's have high tracking, and a relatively short medium range, with a very high rof.
Give 425's low tracking, high range, and make them more alpha focused.
Make 350's sit in the middle.
And naturally extend this to medium and small rails. (75's in particular would be interesting with this)
You could even give 250's HIGER dps than 425's just to make things interesting.
I really like this idea. It makes sniping with rails better and makes mid range engagements possible.
