For the Gallente heavy weapon, a Heavy Mass Driver. Graphics from the regular mass driver. Stats: Halve the magazine capacity, halve the maximum ammo carried, halve the maximum range while maintaining the height of the arc and travel time, double the damage. Add a flux variant for taking on shield tankers and equipment fields. Reload one shell at a time, like a shotgun, except you have to play the MD reload animation three times to reload three shells.
For the Amarr heavy weapon, a Heavy Laser. Graphics from the forge gun and laser rifle. Range of about 10m. Takes 5 seconds to overheat, 10 seconds to cool down, 5 seconds to unlock if it overheats. Regular damage is triple the laser rifle's damage. Aim-down-sights button causes the Amarr heavy laser wielder to expend all their stamina in a very fast, short sprint, straight forward (turn rate drops lower than when aiming down sights with a sniper rifle, so no sprinting around corners). The aim-down-sights-button sprint only covers up to 10m (from full stamina) in half a second and doubles the Heavy Laser damage during the sprint and for one second afterwards; also doubles the heat build up for that one and a half seconds. If it makes a "Whhhaaw" noise while spinning, like a stupidly large light saber, that would be alright with me.
Is there a way to give weapons a damage bonus against vehicle shields and vehicle armor? Without that, none of the heavy weapons are going to avoid being infantry slaughtering tools.

Sounds like the flux variant. If it can't fire faster than the plasma cannon's shoot-reload-shoot-reload-shoot-reload pattern though, why not just carry the plasma cannon? The resemblance to the mass driver is in the shoot-shoot-shoot-reload-reload-reload pattern, and the firing arc that's more like a mortar than an rocket-propelled-grenade.
