are you serious?
AV people no longer have anything to complain about. I know because I am one and CCP has given me wins against vehicles on a silver platter. If you dont know what I am talking about, you'll figure it out eventually. |

I just prefer blazing fast anti-tank movement like it is in every other game and irl.
Alright, this is about as simple of a reason as i can make....
CCP has a history of not simply forcing things on you as a developer, meaning everything they build has a reason behind it and isnt some magical sci fi thing. Everything is reasonable and makes sense in the grand scheme of things. Thats why the lore is so extensive and awesome.
Forge guns are ridiculously powerful, nearly uncontrollable weapons that shouldn't realistically be able to be wielded by humans. It is only with great effort and mechanical genius that they were able to fit one on a heavy suit, which was able to actually withstand the gun without killing the user.
Scouts/assaults/logis simply cannot use a forge gun. If you must have an AV option as a light suit, use a swarm launcher. |

Take the opposite of your statement and your closer to the truth. CCP is BIG on lore. What is not fun about having AV roles with AV weapons? Why is it not fun to have forges only on heavies?
Put a forge on a scout and i assure you, not only will this game brake, but it would be invalidating so many of the mechanics that the game would be stupid and boring. |
