With the recent thread about the ADS in GD I had an idea about "specializing" variants of the SL to the vehicles of dust.
There would be three types of SL Assault, Breach, and Normal(up for debate)
The breach would be slow high damaging missiles with a great turn radius( made to counter Tanks)
The Assault would be a low to mid damage high speed missile with poor turn radius( made to counter DS)
And the normal variant which is the master of none type of SL would be the middle ground between the two.
The turn radius of the swarm launcher would have to be significantly decreased to make the chance of over shot due to speed possible.
Also ninja give the 5 slot LAVs back!

honestly you could manage a nice spread of variation with just the standard and assault types, but it would be cool to explore some new options to tweak swarms to make them less of a jack of all trades.

A better idea is for the missile thrust to strip all shields and armor from the user. If they fire too fast insta-death.
That would be good, if not great. 
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

You might be on to something here.
Assault swarms are currently useless. I think specialized variants is a good idea
Who cares what some sniper has to say.

Depends on what you mean by great. Anywhere near now is too much.

I like it. Give a variety to the Av arsenal. Makes it easier to balance to, as you are balancing one type to one vehicle type. Might be cool to do this with other AV weaponry as well in the future.

Just as some inspiration for some differentials, I pulled some basic data from EVE on the different kinds of missiles.
Javelin Rocket (Longer Range - Faster - Less Damage)
Damage - 29.70 HP
Flight Time - 2.00 s
Velocity - 3,375 m/s
Range - 6,750 m
Rage Rocket (Less Range - Slower - More Damage)
Damage - 44.60 HP
Flight Time - 2.00 s
Velocity - 1,875 m/s
Range - 3,750 m
So basically Javelin has ~80% more velocity/range and Rage has ~50% more damage. Granted higher DPS missiles are typically preffered but that's mostly because ships can more readily close distances than a player on foot with AV can, especially if fighting a flying vehicle. Plus DUST isn't EVE so you can't directly translate everything over. So I think a long range, lower DPS would be equally useful to a shorter range, higher DPS Swarm.
Granted I think current swarm values are pretty stupid high, so that would need to be adjusted as well.
