So with the new batch of heavy weapons coming soon, Heavies will be placed into more of an AV role. Which means that their weapons will be harder to use against Infantry and they will come to rely on their sidearms more than ever.
I envision having heavy sidearms. Only usable by heavy suits, high damage and full damage to vehicles.
Heavy Scrambler Pistol - A Magnum's Magnum
Heavy Bolt Pistol - Two shots per magazine but you will rarely need more than that.
Heavy Flaylock - If you thought the Flaylock was a pocket Mass Driver before, think again.
Heavy Ion Pistol - It may take a little longer to charge up but the extra damage is worth it
Heavy SMG - Very High Rate of Fire; if you don't pay attention you may miss hearing the sound of it expending all 70 rounds in a split second
Heavy MagSec - Even longer Charge time and slower RoF but much higher damage and in practice will be a pocket LMG
Put your flags up in the sky.

Doubt it. There's few things better than killing a Proto Heavy with a direct hit from a Plasma Cannon and finishing off his logi with your AR. That inherent blanket 10% plus damage really helps obliterate everything. Also nanohives are pretty cool.
These weapons would just be better than sidearms but not better than light weapons. You're looking at the worst case scenario and if the developers are smart, and I believe they are, then these could be.implemented in a reasonably balanced way.

No. You get AV, or you get AP. You want both, get a commando.
Do not go gentle into that good night;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I don't think these heavy sidearms will be necessary. Heavies seem to do just fine with the regular ones. It would be better to add heavy AP weapons similar to the HMG but with some tweaks depending on race. |

If the heavy weapons come out, the sentinals need to be unable to use a light weapon. there is a commando for that

What's the point of this change?
Besides making you feel better about yourself?
Sentinels using light weapons pretty much gimp themselves.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

the point is to define roles. I still see quite a few sentinals 'running' around with RRs. We just got done with the worst battle role issue ever with the scouts. They were the assaults, scouts, and logis.
