I don't know if this has already been posted or not but oh well. Anyway I thnk that I should be like the Javelin from today, shooting a big missile with a big explosion. I was thinking that it could be used for tanks and infantry(I'm not sure if I can lock on to aircraft). For the tanks it could lock on and track it and for infantry you can lock on to the ground. I don't know how the specs should be though.
Let me know if you like the idea! |

Intresting idea.
Swarm launcher sort of has the lock on bit covered though.
But since I can't aim, more lock on weapons, the better for me
Edit: Even though its the wrong forum section, your getting +1 just because its not a Rebel Alliance thread. |

Really all I want is a direct to fire rocket launcher (Obviously reduce dmg against infantry though so it wouldn't be used like the swarms were)
I hate lock on launchers. |

They have a rocket launcher now called the Flaylock.
I would welcome an infantryman's shoulder launched missile system like the Javelin. Although it would probably end up being too harsh. Swarms have been buffed and nerfed in a zillion ways while trying to find there game balance. |

I'm not a fan of a dumbfire rocket launcher (Mordu's Private Trials, anyone?). I would, however, like to see some kind of indirect fire weapon, like mortars. Minmatar, having access to artillery, would be the ones to get something like this, since you're looking for something effective against infantry and vehicles. |

If this "javelin" style rocket launcher was implemented I would have loads of fun :D |

Just for reference...
During one of their presentations, CCP listed different weapon types together according to race. The Swarm Launcher, Plasma Cannon, and Mass Driver were listed together in the same category.
All we're missing is the Caldari "rocket launcher" apparently. Which I assumed was the Forge Gun, but I guess I was wrong...
ED: Derp. We're missing the Amarr launcher. That's what's missing. Not Caldari. |

Then maybe have it as the Minmatar heavy variant of the Forge Gun? |

I am completely and totally okay with this.
Aaannd one more ED:
I always figured the Heavy version of the Forge Gun would be something like the artillery from Gears of War though. Plop it down, muddle your distance, fire, and a second or so later, BOOM. |

flaylock cough cough. eve side Typhoon.
artillery would be bad ass, as would some sort of dumb fire, tho I think the swarm should dumb fire and not explode in the first 10-20m unless a vehicle is present(lore wise its some sort of safety interlock) this would prevent swarm shotgunning and allow for both long range high speed dumb spaming and shotguning of nearby tanks which was frankly the best thing about the swarm in other builds
what I really want is for target painting to become a thing, where you have long range slow missles that you dumb fire and will home in on the target of another player weilding a target painter, once the missile flys into LOS of the target, this would be both for a heavy infantry weapon (maybe some light aswell) turrets as well. |

Fast, dumb fire rockets. Basically a big flaylock AV rifle.
They should have high damage and lolaccuracy. |

one of the ways ccp prevents battleship missiles from one hitting smaller ships in eve is that ships have a signature radius and missiles have an explosion radius is a ship sig rad is smaller then the missiles explosion rad it takes a fraction of the max damage of the missile based on the difference between explosion rad and sig rad.
they should really do something like that for dust where the damage of explosives splash is based off the ratio between blast radius and signature radius(basically the average cross section of a suit/ vehicle so suits0.8m-2m tanks 10ishm lavs 5ishm). This would allow tanks to have giant HP pools and AV to always act the same while still not OHK infantry, it also means that explosives can be nerfed or buffed to target specific things based not only on damage, which has proven to be a balancing nightmare, but also with blast radius. |
