As much as the heavies deserve another weapon. I want this to replace my Placon, it needs to be light weapon. Please. |

Heavy weapons are designed for long-term engagements. This is an alpha strike weapon. How does the forge gun enable long-term engagements? It's like the definition of an alpha strike weapon. But, I can see this being a fine light weapon, too. That's begs the question though, what do you envision the heavy laser to be?
There is only so much you can do with lasers. Pulse(ScR), beam(LR), charge(ScR), and Gatling(AScR). We already have all of those covered. The heavy Laser can be whatever you want really. Although a large pulse laser with a charge would be fitting, while a beam laser with a charge would be this Beam Lance. |

Because this weapon has to charge up, and it overheats faster. Probably has less ammo too.

The Plasma Cannon is not underpowered.

How? I can't think of a way to make it unusable against infantry. Lock-on Lasers would be OP.
Just make it difficult to use, like the Plasma Cannon. Make the charge time 1.50 seconds, give it a magazine that barely has enough 'rounds' to do ~1200 damage, and give it the old Laser Rifle Iron sights.
With drawbacks like these, a DPS of ~600 would be reasonable I think.
It should have a long range as well, but a sharp damage falloff.
Optimal: 90m
Effective: 100m
Absolute: 250m
