Leonid Tybalt DIOS EX. General Tso's Alliance 12	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:08:00 - [1] - Quote Basically like a scaled up version of the laser rifle for tanks and turret installations. We have Caldari and Gallente artillery already in the form or missiles, blasters and railguns. Now gimme some Amarrian laser cannons!
Lynn Beck Granite Mercenary Division Top Men. 395	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:09:00 - [2] - Quote I'd prefer an autocannon or howitzer/300mm cannon. Under 28db Officially nerfproof (predicting CR nerf February '14) I have a God, His name is Dakka.
Spademan The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 440	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:15:00 - [3] - Quote Yes, but not before a flak cannon. Yknow, for Minmatar. I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.
Yoma Carrim Situation Normal all fraked up 187	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:19:00 - [4] - Quote Only if we get Amar tanks to go with it. I need some Gold Targets to shoot dear sir When you turn a corner and find the entire enemy team.Oh Heck Logi, Tanker, Heavy
Hontou Tsukida Eternal Beings 7	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:20:00 - [5] - Quote A big ass lazer coming out of a tank cannon...Nice...

Oh totally, dust needs more "primitive yet effective" solid slug throwers using chemical propellants. However, im not sure I think tanks would be Minmatars style. Minmatar deserve a more unique heavy vehicle that reflects their fighting style. In another thread I proposed the idea that Minmatar should get a mech +í la Alien 2 power loader but with flak cannons and armor plates bolted down on it. It might not match the top speeds on a road, but it would accelerate faster by "running" rather than rolling, turn faster, be able to strafe like infantry etc, while blasting away with arm mounted autocannons. Wouldn't that be much more awsome than a rusty and old looking tank?
Angelo Collins ROGUE SPADES 5	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:31:00 - [7] - Quote I remember from the beta back in July of 2012, the turret menu had a lazer category as well as artillery. I don't know if they are still planned but CCP thought of these type of turrets.

Yeah, a noisy beam of golden white light that fries anything it touches until the turret focussing crystals overheats or something (it has to have limitations after all). I think it would synch well with the new skill tree for turrers as well, making it extra important for laser turret gunners to focus on turret turning speed (it's gonna be hard killing vehicles or infantry if you cant keep that beam of death on target long enough to deplete shields and armor)

I'd think that the long goal is to represent each race most iconic weapons, and we all know from Eve how Amarr like their deathrays of holy light.

If you want to introduce a new type of weapon to the game then we can't focus solely on how awesome it could be. Suggestions for drawbacks and comparisons with other weaponry should also get some consideration to make the discussion more serious.
Evolution-8 Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 107	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:47:00 - [14] - Quote A laser that sounds like those huge reapers from Mass effect 3 would be intense. Hmm, that might be too intense actually. The amount of "Im'ma firin ma laza" moments would be epic though.
rebecca watson OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 91	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:48:00 - [15] - Quote I gave it +1. Pulse laser battery that does exceptional EM/shield damage (and poor Explosive/armor damage) at medium range, with a small amount of splash damage. Slow rotation.
ADAM-OF-EVE Dead Man's Game 668	Posted - 2013.12.23 23:50:00 - [16] - Quote lav's should have lasers on their wheels like a chariot in roman times https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

I think a constant beam would look cooler than pulses, honestly. Pulses would look too much like blaster shots but with a different sound effect and color. A constant beam on the other hand would look more unique among the vehicle mounted artillery (looks are important to me)

Suggestions for drawbacks and comparisons with other weaponry should also get some consideration to make the discussion more serious. Lets see, a heavy laser that has more range, increased damage but increased heat build up and more feedback damage. Draw backs would be pretty much the same as what the laser has now, huge damage fall off past optimal range, blah blah. I liked the idea of the pulse laser, make it so the pulses deal individual damage per pulse and make it slow down vehicles and dropsuits as well Official DUST514 LAV Mechanic

Awesome>>balanced "Debbie Downer" posted the thread in the first place :P While im all for the "rule of cool", I think the ccp staff will already dump liberal amounts of "rule of cool" into everything (after all, they designed the hmg to be a big ass gatling gun). The reason for my sober approach is because I want to push for the entire community in siding with me and letting any ccp devs reading this that we would like to see laser turrets in the game. That means convincing players who eventually will find themselves on the wrong end of the laser turrets getting gunned down by them occasionally. The last thing they want to see is some OP-megaweapon coming their way. I want a COOL laser turret, not an overpowered one!

Beld Errmon The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1161	Posted - 2013.12.24 00:09:00 - [21] - Quote Pulse and beam laser turrets, hell yes i want to see that, along with autocannons and arty :D
