I dislike this, makes it a bit too easy for one weapon to be 'the best' or simply just too useful.
Why would I carry a swarm if the plc does the same thing but can also be shot at infantry?
Why carry a forge when it's numerically inferior and I could use a commando instead?

With a viktors laser and amarr assault 5 I got 1/3rd of the way through a 5300 shield hp gunnlogi.... without stopping its shield recharge.
Think about what this would do if it had 100% efficiacy, lasers would be unbelievably deadly to vehicles. Laser has some of the highest damage per magazine in the game, and two lasers would kill any vehicle that's between 50-110 meters.

If you hold a laser rifle with the escalating damage it gets high enough to disintegrate a heavy if you time it right, and that's if you heat the beam. Now combine that with the OTHER five or so seconds of escalation and you can dump more damage per clip than a breach forge Potentially. It's why when I cobbled up the scrambler lance bad idea it does a steady damage and doesn't share the escalation. It's a lot easier to hold a pinpoint laser on a tank than it is to hold it on a smaller dropsuit so the odds of applying 100% of that escalation approaches certainty. Especially from a rooftop perch where turrets cannot elevate and hit. It's why I say that laser rifles are a bad idea as AV weapons. damage is just an efficiency to be balanced. The aiming, sure but drawing a bead on something, while exposing yourself to enemy infantry at the same time, while maximizing damage by being far from the vehicle seems to outweigh a lot of the pros
I don't think people are saying they don't want a laser heavy weapon, I think they're saying they don't want a laser rifle copy-paste weapon. I'd love something like the fusion rifle for a heavy laser

Pokey
damage per individual shot = [BaseDMG + (scalar * # of shots fired consecutively)] * damage mods
Scalar ranges from .85 on basic to 1.10 on proto I believe, with the number of shots capable of being fired ranging from 60 - 80 on basic / proto or up to 120 consecutively on officer laser (which might have a higher scalar).
So for a basic at its 80th round 17 + (.85 * 80 = 68) = 85. A basic laser with amarr assault 5 and no damage mods has a damage per 'full burst' of 4114, the officer laser with its 120 rounds goes up to a damage per 'full burst' of something like 10 000, before damage mods.
