Suppression can work one of two ways. The enemy can either fear to leave cover and attack or they can be unable to. The mass driver used to be very good with its knock back effect which would make it hard to return fire. I don't recall that happening lately so maybe its gone. The laser rifle should instill fear to leave cover.

That god awful noise it makes when hitting you is good enough reason for me to not leave cover. I like my ears not bleeding, thank you very much.

A "suppressive" weapon is a useless weapon.
The only thing that should keep you suppressed is fear of losing a suit. |

A mass driver is a scout killing weapon, aimed at hunting scouts, you should know this they are our natural predator.
The laser rifle sucks cos it overheats it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have an overheating mechanic.
Assassination is my thing.

We are surprising with primary weapons for the most part with the introduction of the last two rifles. I think one weapon that is primed for a come back is the MD.
The battlefield geometry has changed quite a bit with the engagement ranges being stretched out but the mass driver is still a great tool for covering your team moving into assault position, cleaning out a nest of uplinks and rep hives that a coupe guys are using to strongpoint a position.
I've got a few more things in my "must skill into list" before I branch into any more weapons but the MD is high on my optional weapon list.
Questions for the group:
If the laser is the Amarr support weapon and the mass driver is the Minmatar support weapon what might the Gallente and Caldari versions be?
Caldari - a dumb fire rocket launcher?
Gallente - heavy blaster..longer range high dispersion with 8 round bursts (think light machine gun)? |

To me, the laser rifle should have the longest range in the game--even longer than sniper rifles. The big drawback, however, would be that the laser is completely visible when fired, so you better be ready to run and hide after using it.

A version of the plasma cannon that has a higher rate of fire and lower damage per shot would make a good Gallente AoE/suppression weapon.
