I see you are in the "i am intitled so completely change Plasma Cannons so they are fun for me, even though they already have a loyal following that likes them they way they are" crowd. **** you.

I concur. OHKing Protobears with a Starter fit is enjoyable.

Have ton's of isk.. ask Trap.. its pretty excessive.. If I'm getting OHKO'ed which is fine because the problem is everyone is. same with a majority of weapons in this game now.

And if that's what everyone want's is a game where no amount of health point's change the fact you still die in one shot(skilled sniper shot's being the exception).... we should just get rid of skill points.

A STD logi should die in one grenade... two? sure.... I know for sure it screw's up any meaning of working for 3 month's to build skills and a suit to have a STD militia forge gun one shot you... or a militia grenade... or a PLC... or even my flaylock for some sadly...

Sniper Rifles are specialty weapons made by the Caldari for long range. Their rough Gallente counterpart is the Shotgun. Amarr: Laser Rifle. Minmatar: Mass Driver. That's just the way I see it, I could be wrong, but it makes sense, given the current data.

EDIT; Double post.

its the galante swarm launcher actually


weapons are designed in wierd tiers

you have racial ARs
Racial specialist (shotgun, lazer, mass driver, Caldari TBA)
racial sidearm 1
racial sidearm 2
racial knives
racial light AV
racial heavy AV
Racial heavy AI
Racial sniper (evidence of a minmatar sniper rifle in progress via concept art)


the plasma cannon is in the racial light AV catagory.

technically it IS

Hmmmmm. I respectfully disagree. Just because something works against infantry doesn't make it an AI weapon. An forge gun can blow up infatry. Does that make it an AI weapon?


it was (poorly) designed as an AV weapon, as part of the light AV catagory. reguardless of how its used thats where (on the design chart) it sits.

AND im done.

i have no interest in convincing you or proving it. i simply chose to share my insight into CCPs design process.
it matters very little how much evidence anyone provides your opinion would remain unchanged and so thats all for me here.

for the sake of argument i point to the efficiancy of weapons, AV designed weaponry has decidedly higher efficiancy against vehicles and instalations, AI weaponry has **** poor efficiancy against the same targets. Plasma cannon has a high efficiancy rating and therefore was designed as AV. the eception to this rule is the mass driver wich is a wierd middle ground and while it doesnt have the same high efficiancy that AV weaponry has it has the highest efficiancy of any AI weapon.

you determin the "efficiancy" by pointing your gun at it and reading the info provided at the bottom of your screen

so everything is more efficiant against infantry?

and no AV weapons exsist?



its AV simply because it was designed wwith that intent, and it fits in that design catagory.


im actually happyer with its current use then if people only brought it out against vehicles.

Plasma Cannon, the shortest range, highest damage per shot, antimaterial, blaster category, sniper rifle!!!!

EDIT: What derail roofer?

as one of the only AV weapons that ddiddnt get reduced damage for 1.7 im kinda interested to see its eventual rise in popularity, it may not be the strongest, but it is one of the funnyest.
