Large Blasters should have HMG like dispersion, making it so that they aren't pinpoint accurate.

They stay deadly and infantry will still fear sticking their heads out when one is around, but it also won't be an insta kill win button.
It also doesn't hurt their AV power like damage or ROF reductions would.

Should increase accuracy with firing, but it should take 3~ seconds of firing before it reaches max accuracy bonus.
You want to be accurate? You have to take a chance and be close to overheating.
Kinda like the laser rifle and damage.

As an additional note, maybe small blasters should get it too, but get increased damage and faster accuracy gain?
Small blasters really are meh.
The fact that you're on a mobile platform means you can't have much accuracy, but with HMG like dispersion and a damage increase, blasters could cover a small area with fire rather than a pinpoint location, making it easier.

P1ss off, thats an Amarr gameplay mechanic, fithy Gallente can't make a gun for ****.

...
But HMG is Minmatar What?

I know....Gallente arms manufacturers still cannot build a gun for ****....... tell them to redesign that epic X2000 from 2009.......

But we have the Plasma Ri... Oh wait it's beaten by all the other rifles...

But we have the shotgu... Oh wait 5 shots to bring down a heavy....

But we have the plasma cann... Oh wait it's terrible all around

But we have the Ion Pisto... Just lol

Alright, fine, you win Evil

Aiming with a cone instead of a point is way more forgiving of bad tracking and i'd guess the RoF of blaster turrets is easily enough to provide consistent, albeit lower, damage against infantry. This,of course, is dependant on the amount of dispersion and the hmg-like inverse spread might help aswell. Sill. This can easily backfire.
