I'm going to suggest that these assets are most likely already designed but being arbitrarily held back from Dust 514 so that upon, if it even materialises, CCP can claim to have made great leaps and bounds.......

Instead, a good Minmatar AV weapon would be a flak cannon that fires ammunition that detonates at a certain distance from vehicles. It can damage infantry too but only if the explosive hits the ground. It would be very effective at destroying Dropships since you don't have to aim directly at them. Give them the forge gun model with a Minmatar color scheme, a very low ROF instead of a charge-up and a higher splash damage radius.
Or the Minmatar's other turret type.
Artillery.
Artillery as I see it is essentially this games higher shorter ranged alpha weapons type. This could be an interesting variation on the Plasma cannon.

THe autocannon is already obnoxious about being spitball range (HMG)
Forgive my ignorance on the subject but when we talk long range I'm talking 22-45km. Can Arty in EVE engage to those distances effectively?

Can Arty in EVE engage to those distances effectively? I'vre hit targets upwards of 100 kilometers in EVE with arty. Just don't use the -50% range ammo. the kinetic loads are awesome combined with the MJD
Ah I guess I should have specified further..... Small Arty turrets..... I don't think about things in Medium or Large Turret sizes yet.

They would be more than capable at taking out vehicles, be proper "H" weapons even if they share a model with the light weapon and be differentiated by firing behaviour and effect.
I believe this can be done with our tools. Now just to balance them. Ratatti i found you matari AA (anti-armor) autocannon (not that idea of mine but new one) ;p Video 1Video 2 I keep imagining the Autocannon from Space Marine; big, unwieldy automatic heavy weapon that, basically, fires miniature tank cannon shells about 1 per second or so. I keep imaging the Plasma Mortar as being like the Death Glider's Staff Cannon from Stargate SG-1
Auto Cannon is so big it take 2 Guardsmen to maintain and operate......and since their use breaks the Codex Astartes even the Marines don't use them solo.

There's an Auto Cannon in Space Marine?
I know there's a Heavy Bolter, Plasma Cannon, Lascannon, and the Dreadnaught Assault Cannon.....but I don't remember an Autocannon in the game.

Indeed. The Codex states conventional military tactics that most loyalist Chapters espouse in their tactics and those tactics conventionally disallow such heavy fire power from a non entrenched position. Moreover the latest Codex Space Marines does not contain any units that can carry auto canon to my knowledge.
Edit: Played Sisters of Battle, Tyranids, and Slaaneshi Emperors Children.

no drugs, just the correct interpretation of how the game is supposed to operate which is why people agreed with me by liking my post.
Nope. Marauder Tanks are Marauders.
Pitiful infantry playing at being the big boys toys.
..... closest comparison is....... a Destroyer?
