Weapon Asset: Plasma cannon, about 15-20% larger, Amarr colors
Charge Up Asset: Forge gun glow, color changed to yellow or red
Projectile Asset: Laser Rifle Laser, double to triple the width, yellow or red
Basic Concept: The beam laser is an anti shield AV weapon. it has a charge up time similar to the forge gun, but instead of firing a single round, it produces a beam that lasts for up to 4 seconds before overheating. For every .5 consecutive seconds on a target, the beam deals slightly increased damage. If the beam leaves the target at any moment, the damage is reverted to base. If damage is applied the entire time and pushed into overheat, it should deal roughly 50% more damage than a standard forge gun. 30% more if ended before overheat
If the beam is ended before overheat, it has a 3 second cooldown time. If it oveheats, its a 6 second cooldown, plus some feedback damage to the operator
All these numbers are entirely subject to change and just conceptual placeholders to get some ideas flowing. With all the talk of using old assets to create new heavy weapons, I thought id toss one more idea onto the pile

You cant just have all anti armor AV and expect to call it balanced...
I for one want shields to suffer just as badly as armor so that CCP might finally be forced to admit that vehicle balance is shot. No sense having only one type of vehicle rocked by AV, join the party. The more the merrier

I just always liked the idea of a shoulder mounted laser cannon, and the only shoulder mounted asset we have is the PLC

That doesn't really scream AV though, it sounds more like an anti infantry weapon to me, personally. We dont need another short / medium range anti shield av weapon, we need something that can put the hurt on at range
