Greetings,

As Garrett said, the default fits are stupid, but they do demonstrate a very important point... The Swarm Launcher is a light weapon, but you can put a light weapon in a heavy slot... And guess what, you can also put a sidearm into a light or heavy slot. CCP did it this way to show you that this is possible... And that made that feature available to allow you to get a bit more creative with your builds.

Everything on their fits do work, otherwise they would not fit them that way... Dust, like her big sister EVE, allows you to get creative with your builds.... In EVE it is not uncommon to see Battleships with Cruiser sized guns on them or cruisers with Frigate sized guns on them... Well, in Dust it is not uncommon to see Assault suits with SMGs as their primary weapon or Heavy suits with Assault rifles as their primary weapon.

Ahhh, misunderstood your question. As far as I have been able to determine the damage modifier applies to the weapon, not the weapon slot. So no, the Swarm Launcher is a light weapon, even when used in a heavy slot. The heavy damage modifier does not affect it. |

Yeah, I am finding more intelligent fits in the Suit Of The Week articles in the weekly beta news letter... I am actually hoping CCP starts using those as default fits.
