I didn't do any other rebalance for now as I'm unsure on where to go and was hoping some fruitful discussion would spawn.

So, if the post doesn't agree with your and doesn't praise you for your actions it is not fruitful discussion. Fair enough.

If sniper rifles are so utterly bad in NCTH, it would be a lot more reasonable to alter the NCTH values to make them hit consistently than to give them an implausible damage boost in case they accidentally hit something. But as nobody has done that in so far, I assume others either don't have that problem or (much more likely) nobody is interested in doing that in stock. Fair enough, I'm not either, as I'm no longer interested in using NCTH.

Maybe this is because all balance changes are being rejected by the "big" coders who have access to svn?

Everything that smelled with a balance change was ignored when I sent it to Seven before I managed to get this access myself and then I did not dare to push my changes anyway (plus I never get access to gamedir, only source). There are several modifiucations for NCTH, mercs values or gun values made by "random players", but none of them was ever considered to get into official game dir. From what I see, the only one making any balance changes in years is you and that happens without any consulting with others. You do it, post details here and if someone by any chance objects you call this "unfruitful discussion" and get angry.

Honestly I do not care, nerf sniper rifles to the ground if you want, but do not ask for others opinions if you do not want to hear objections or critique.
