Got this idea from IWS's implying that the HMG was more of a GAU than a minigun.
The differences are rate of fire, range, caliber.
A GAU is found on aircraft, have 20-30mm depleted uranium shells, and burst 40-60 rps. they are devestating weapons, but can use all on board ammo in seconds.
Fix the HMG by making it difficult to support. During WWII the MG42 required a team of 6 to support 1 HMG-so make the DUST HMG a support issue. 2 logis running ammo for every 4 seconds of trigger time.
BUT, everything in front of the HMG up to 300 meters should die-everything, tanks, derpships, turrets armies, and in PC&FW friendlies.

millisecond? bet you $100.00 that someone did..lol
if a CPM says the DUST HMG is a GAU and not a minigun to support an idea or an arguement-then RL must be considered to balancy science stupid with science fiction.
Balance is ephemeral when asymmetrical tactics, weapons, platforms, eve lore, and good and bad science is it's foundation.
science facts:
GAU-does not overheat.
rail guns do not recoil |

Mad Syringe wrote:I said it before, this is how a heavy should work like: Proxycon At 1.20 all hell breaks loose with this heavy entering the arena... And it also shows his slowness and immobility of the suit as it should be. At 2,40 you see somtething similar to a breach forgegun in action. The heavy should have even more HP, but it should be immobile while shooting, and only be able to rotate 90-¦ while he's shooting his gun. This initial rotation should be fast as it's now, but it would be very slow when turning more than 90-¦ (+/- 45-¦) since he would have to move his feet doing that, and no shooting while moving his feet. Range of the gun needs to be way higher, since this would make a heavy barely feasable in cqc without infantry support to cover his back. btw, when do we get friggin boarding on eve ships...
excessive mobility at every level was CCP's first mistake, and they are paying for in sh!t hit detection and "dance, dance party" gltching.
I run a 3x kinkat hvy with a std hmg--it is OP, but fuqtardly fun. the other 50% of my time in a bottled dragonfly scout with a milita CR. |

Meaning, if we follow real life for balance a hmg should recoil like all hell and rails should overheat.
you are right, but first the AR should melt and the CR should be unusable-they are all ********. |

It creates a chore.
Further modern machinegun teams are three man due to a variety of reasons, not the least of which is a soldier would be very hard pressed to carry the weight of four hundred rounds plus the gun.
These factors are negated by power armor.
Making the huge ass gun unwieldy in CQC would be the better solution. Pfft i was a saw gunner. I carried all my **** man up. Also our gun teams were two guys cuz we aint pussies. And not enough new guys The HMG is less like a SAW and more like an M-240 or M-60. And I was an actual machine gunner. You SAW sissies need to learn to man up and haul.
I'm torn between 240-BRAVO or M-60 variant type for Calari HMG---
NAH
MA DEUCE!
I never got a chance to fire a 3 barrel GAU-19/B |

I mused the boarding a week ago or so.
This is a digest:
An EVE player wanting "more" could opt in. A small multi decked ship is needed, and CCP would need Drone AI.
The game is RTS vs 6 humans.
The EVE player has a budget on turrets and AI, but a huge advantage in knowing interior ship design.
Can't lag AI--lol
i have more, but CCP already has their hands full. |

We will never be alloweed to board EVE ships that are not NPC controlled. The Heavy Bolter from Space Marine is incredible!
Inertia in the heavy is a missing element, because the GUA and Mini, although very stable mounted, would need gimbles and gyroscopes for stability on the move.
My kid gets mad at me for running around with my 1500isk hmg shooting everyone down to 30-50% health. I just say that assists win matches not kdr. |

Probably the best example of a man portable (even if said man is a genetically enhanced super soldier in power armour) heavy ballistics weapon. It even overheats. That said, having to brace to use a HMG in Dust would almost guarantee the Sentinel dying before getting the kill unless something was done to balance it. TTK vs Sentinel is almost the same as in Space Marine....... plus the idea behind the braced position was to do so before you ran into and enemy and prefire on corners you knew they were using.
It should be on trigger pull, because the gyros would be at full rpm. Movement speed for you and the weapon would become slow, but very smooth- slaving the weapon would cause it to want to continue in that direction. gun with ammo would weight 500lbs at least.
The type of weapon that i started this post with would need this limitation, in RL and science fiction. |
