Now I know what you are all thinking, "Oh, god, not another heavies need buffs thread, we get it already." Yes they need buffs, no that is not what this is about. What I am interested in beyond rebalance and new suits is seeing what we are going to get in terms if heavy weapons.
We all know HMG needs some love, and I am sure that if the DEVs pay any attention to these forums or in game it's pretty obvious at this point that they don't exactly make efficient use of that heavy slot. That aside, what came e expect to see?
Heavy Laser Cannon
-- I see this as fairly likely as it would fit with current Sentinel suit bonus very well, if it has dorm decent range i think it would be picked up in a heart beat.
Heavy Shotgun
-- I have seen this idea in many threads although I am not really sure what racial category it would provide, also for sake of balance I would think it would be a match of rock paper scissors; any CQC light or assault would be utterly destroyed, heavies would stand no chance at any sort of range (almost the scenario with the HMG now anyways)
Heavy Flaylock Rifle
-- Just a thought, a Minmatar weapon of course would be a large "rifle" of sorts that fires dumb missiles similar to the existing pistol, major changes would include increased maximum range and slightly increased projectile speed, lower damage overall per shot and moderate rate of fire (somewhere around 120-240?)
Any other ideas, leaked weapons, info from the test server, or comments/criticism welcome  |

With as much joy I get toasting people from afar with the laser rifle, I sincerely hope it follows that model.
That said I'd hope they crank up the heat up ratio and damage to compensate.
Edit: Feedback Damage would also need to be increased considerably |

Global Agenda (admittedly with weapons for every class) had sledgehammers for heavies, great feeling smashing people and installations to bits, would that involve a heavy sidearm slot? Lol |

Gallente: Heavy Plasma Cannon (Like the Light Plasma Cannon, but with a 3 shot clip for militia, and 5 shot clip for Proto.)
Plasma flamethrower for Gallente please.
Now there's a CQC weapon I can get behind, figuratively and literally |
