Can you please buff the breach MD and turn it into a full-on AV weapon? I'd really like to have a proper Winmatar AV weapon before everyone moves to Legion and I'm left behind....

Yes, that too please. Focused high damage but cannot turn or move while the beam is in effect. 1.3s charge time, have to let off the trigger to move/strafe/turn. Keeps it from being good v infantry (unless they're too stupid to strafe 2m sideways).

I suggested in another thread: take the PLC, paint it gold, and makes it shoot big ass laz0rs. Bingo, instant Amarr AV weapon without a client side update!

The Breach should be the Minmatar version of the Plasma Cannon. High risk, high reward. +1

Sounds good, but I still would like to see the laser idea in action. Makes me think of the move "Energy Burst" from this old relic... (should get the idea 30 seconds in)

I'd really like a Flux grenade version. Then you have a two man MD team wreaking havoc, with one melting shield and the other destroying armor. It would be epic. It would be terrifying. It would be awesome. |

I think there's an issue with AV-massdrivers when in third person they look identical to their AI-variant. Here's what I worry about:
1. You're in a firefight in your Gallente Assault suit.
2. In the fray you see someone with a Swarm Launcher. Easy to spot, big black missile launcher on his shoulder. Low priority target, maybe kill him when you get closer.
3. A Minmatar medium with a Mass Driver comes along. Probably looking to team up with the Swarm Launcher user on some HAV. Low priority target. Rather get into cover from that Rail Rifle over there.
4. OMFG you're dead from the anti-infantry Mass Driver.
The issue I have is that two weapons look identical but fill very different roles. The connection between small weapon -> anti infantry and shoulder gun -> anti vehicle is given up. There should be a very large incentive to give up something like that. (This is why I originally suggested a Minmatar-like variant of the Swarm Launcher here.) |

Simplest solution would be to up hit efficacy of Mass Drivers against vehicles to around 90-95%. On a direct hit, you'd be causing around 200-300 damage with -20/+20% depending on the shields/armour. It wouldn't make it an AV weapon in and of itself, but it would become much more effective at supporting AV.
Although it would not be bad to get a dedicated AV MD! Faster travel time, zero/next to zero splash radius/damage and high (r00-700?) direct damage. |
