Gallente artillery tanks = targeted drone strikes.
Amarr artillery tanks = sweeping drone lasers
Minmatar artillery tanks = conventional artillery cannons.
Caldari artillery tanks = Long range missile strikes. |

Caldari artillery tanks = Long range missile strikes. If you were looking for a special artillery "function" and not simply an aesthetic, you have warbarge/orbital strikes already. This would be redundant and put too much stress on the playerbase due to uncontrollable deaths.
They'd still have travel times (especially important for the drones), and they'd be very, very vulnerable to other tanks or dropships at close range. |

Except that you would never be able to do anything about them once you're tank capped, and in a serious match one team always is.
Artillery weapon's aren't exactly great at killing scouts strapping RE's to them, or the commando's pegging them with missiles / plasma cannons at short range. |

Slice n'Dice those rebels up! Flayer Mines? Please enlighten me, would they stay dormant or would they effectively be projectiles that have wider AOE but limited height? These are bouncing betty mines that explode whipping nano filament wires around in a terrible series of arcs....essentially flaying the skin from anyone hit by them...and reducing them to lumps of meat. Interseting Although it sounds a little OP if your firing a decent number of these DIRECTLY at enemy players!
Indirect fire, they're lobbed out and either hit the ground dormant making a proximity anti-infantry minefield, or they exploding into their whirling deathiness on the way down. |
