Leave all the base stats as they are alone, add in new racial and variable ammo types carried in equipment slots and "hot-swappable":
AV rounds.
Short-range low (20)db (unmodifiable by bonusing) Scan rounds.
Short-range (10m? 12?) no drop, no "spread" PLC plasma-type rounds.
etc. Even just good 'ol 19th century smoke or EMP/chaff rounds...

1:20ish should be the MDs focus at this point.
Again, "hot-swappable" during battle by dialing up the equipment wheel annd selecting the new ammo type. Resupplied under existing constraints/limits as existing MD resupply.

Also all rounds fired from all Mass drivers should damage the user of said Mass driver as most people that use them deserve to suicide.
I agree with this, an MD round versus infantry should only do the damage of its kinetic impact, ie a light melee strike. Any user caught in his own blastzone suffers damage.

I'm all for seeing a sentinal firing forge shots and swarms at me.. that's av dedication I think that swarms should work like the Large Missile Turrets, no lock-on with minimal splash damage so that they won't be effective against infantry
Except for when I dumbfire a payload down a hallway or into a crowded doorway.

I can also do it with a forge gun and nobody's complaining
Nobody complains because its a fatty that managed to waddle out and lay that down. That same ability becomes opened up to any frame able to quickly duck in and out of cover and the qq will run thick. Not to mention your forge is a single round, single target whereas the swarm is a multi-missle that expands its spread before contracting it to land on target. Theres enough tight chokeways on these maps I wouldnt even need to leave a corner and aim, I could just spam dumbfireswarms at the doorway or hall and splash most anything there to death or close enough.

And it was TERRIBLE. Imagine firing a plasma cannon that launched four mass driver rounds at swarm launcher velocity. It needed to die then and it doesn't need to come back now.
Besides this thread is about the mass driver anyway...
