The swarm launcher is obvious. I think it is Caldari. Since a few days I know that the plasma cannon is intended to be also AV. Well a role it is not good at the moment but that is a different story. It seems to be Gallente.
What do you think are the Minmatar and Amarr versions?
I could imagine that the Minmatar version could be a mortar or a rifle with big shells like a barret. For Amarr I could imagine a high energy lance.
Your ideas? Or do you have concrete information? |

Amarr will involve some sort of flashlight, and Minmatar throw spoons.

The Matari AV weapon may be an RPG.

Minmatar could have some kind of artillery, like a mortar launcher. Something like a forge gun where you have to place/charge/load the weapon. |

First off, Plasma Cannon is the blaster-type Sniper Rifle, short range, high alpha, supposed to be effective as a light weapon Anti-Material weapon (the forge gun is the Heavy weapon version of the Anti-Material weapon).
Secondly, I believe that Atiim has a point about Matari AV being an RPG, I would hope that it would be a tad bit more futuristic (after all, we are 20k years in the future) though still just as rusty as their ships.

No plasma cannon would need faster travel and a scope then. Hybridsniping in eve is still a long range tactic. |

Isn't that an oxymoron in Eve? Blasters have far too short of a range to be sniped with unless you are talking about Large/Extra Large Blasters.

I was talking about railguns since they're both hybrid technology. But still the plasma cannon isn't a sniper rifle variant. |

Matari AV would "web" tanks by covering them with duct tape.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Last time I checked, technically both the Swarm Launcher and Plasma Cannon are classified as "Launchers", and sit in the same category as the Mass Driver. This might be subject to change though, and doesn't preclude the inclusion of a Minmatar AV weapon of some kind (but I'm not saying there's one in the works. Just means we wouldn't never introduce one).

For example, the Laser, MD, Flaylock and Plasma Cannon would have all been classified as AoE(Area of Denial) weapons.
Also does this mean that the MD is the Minmatar light AV?

I can't wait to see what the Minmatar AV will be. As with all our weapons, it'll be the best.

It was mentioned a while back that the Amarr heavy weapon would be a Scrambler something...whether that means simply AV weapon or Heavy Slot weapon we don't know....

Amarr=over sized laser, functions as normal laser, but limited firing time (prevent las cutting, aka sweeping a massive laser that inflicts 1k DPS and mowing infantry down) or pulse laser, kinda assault forge gun kinda (following the variants beingmeant to perform similar to other weapon alternatives)
Minmitar- man portable mortar system, launches highly accurate low blast radius av rounds, or high explosive radius, inaccurate, low damage anti personnel rounds. Aiming I'm not sure, possibly over head view? Ala world of tanks artillery. 500m range?

I just meant to illustrate that swarms are under-performing, and plasma cannons never even got the chance to perform.

Close. We use water balloons filled with the salty tears of scrub tank pilots who can't handle their 100K tanks being taken out by BPO gear and 8K worth of REs.

I'd like a Matari RPG style missile launcher that dumbfired and did extremely high damage but had no splash and was only effective somewhere between the range of Plasma Cannons and Swarms. It could work like an AV nade and only hurt vehicles if it was overused as an sniper. Fast travel time too.
