Scrambler lance, oddly, was apparently a close range heavy weapon, that was also AV.

Talk about Amarr being fanatics, they throw 'lasers and armor' into a melee/shotgun conbo.

Imagine now, you have the cal sentinel, who has to rely on his sidearm or a lucky direct hit to killinfantry, while the ScrLance can just beat the sh!t out of people with its' lancelike properties.

Ah... But then again... CCP is... Yeah.
I remember hearing they even had the artwork done.

I don't think it was 'also AV', so much as 'actually AV'. I imagine it would be somewhat more difficult to kill with a ScL (ACRONYM'D, *****) than an HMG, although the close ranged nature of such a weapon would suggest it were superior.

Also, it's not necessarily a melee weapon; it would presumably fire a 'lance' of energy, in this fashion. It's a fairly frequent sci-fi trope in my recollection.

It's also not as difficult as you suggest to hit infantry with a FG; I manage it reasonably frequently, and I know a guy who is pretty terrifying that way. He used to not carry a sidearm, in fact.

I also recall a Lancer gun in ratchet and clank, similar to an HMG, but it's rifle shaped.

Forge shots are quite difficult to pull off in CQ, unless the guy's sitting still.

I am rightly peeved that CCP couldn't even achieved racial parity before they announced Legion....and it bloody well appears they have given up on being able to say they released a completed first product. I am only hoping that CCP can do what I believe they can and produce a well built and fully fleshed out accompanying game for the EVE universe. Despite all the crap CCP has forced us to have to deal with I still have faith they can do a good job....but seriously I hate that they dropped Dust 514 without attempting to even produce the full game. I don't think it is too much to expect CCP to produce the other half of the racial vehicles and 2 more Heavy weapons options (1 if you consider the Plasma Cannon to be a proper heavy weapon).

True, and if that's what you meant I'll happily accept that . I assumed you meant at range :) anyway, all I meant was 'it ain't a knight's lance; it's the weapon of a Templar BlowoutForCPM

Never in Dust...... But your slaves.....they must be purged by fire! I will not stand for the purging of slaves. Those who come supplicant before the chosen of God are to be lauded for their wisdom and given the right to test themselves through servitude as all Amarr do. To mistreat one of our brothers or sisters is an abomination before the eyes of God and a transgression of a law I am all too happy to enforce. No slave shall be mistreated under my watch, and while I cannot be everywhere, those that fall under my protection shall receive the treatment they deserve.
