Instead of Kinetic I propose Rail Heavy Machine Gun, same stats though, just saying Kinetic Heavy Machine Gun sounds so weird plus it kind of gives it away of what it does.

Rathet than repurpose the HMG with different damage profiles, why not give the Amarr a Heavy Laser and the Gallente a Heavy Plasma Cannon? We then have 2 AV and 2 AI weapons with unique play styles.

I think we should see first the Gallente and Amarr heavy weapons before racial variation of HMG's. As for a plasma heavy weapon I have no idea because I have no experience with Eve. I get the idea of blaster weaponry but look at the Shotgun and the Plasma Cannon: they don't resemble blasters at all but work well with the Eve lore.

So what could be a heavy plasma weapon? It could be something like Destiny is gonna do with Fusion Rifles, making a heavy variation. Gallente heavy weapon could be then a big-****** fusion rifle that charges and shoots a round of plasma pellets. Similar to the Forge Gun but better used for medium range combat, or short range if you're skillful enough to charge and kill at CQC.

What about the Amarr heavy weapon? I think it could be be something like a large laser that instead of shooting a beam it shoots a wide cone, only usable at short-medium range. What do you guys think?
