I'm not a fan of the Swarm Launcher on the whole, simply because of how it works.
Effectively it's an All-or-Nothing weapon, which frankly is impossible to use near any sort of obsticle; be it a building, or even just a small knee-high hill as the missiles have a life of their own once they launch.
What I think would be better is if
1 GÇó It had a Scope... I mean seriously WHY DOES IT?!
2 GÇó 'Dumb' Fire just launched a Single Straight Missile, i.e. worked like an RPG
3 GÇó Secondry Fire was customisable or based on Weapon Manufacturer.
As such it could:
A GÇó Launched the Entire Clip in Quick Succession (Row of Missiles)
B GÇó Launched the Entire Clip at Once (Spreads out and Hits at the same time, as it works now)
C GÇó Locks and Fires a Single Missile
4 GÇó Different Ammo Types
A GÇó Rockets (Dumb Fire w/Light Damage but Higher Number per Clip) [vs Infantry]
B GÇó Guided Missile (Can be fired Dumb or Smart w/Medium Damage) [vs Aircraft]
C GÇó Cruise Missile (Can only be fired Smart w/High Damage, but Single Missile per Clip) [vs Heavy Vehicles]
5 GÇó Should be used in conjunction with a Target Painter (Sidearm or Utility Module), which reduced Lock Time on Vehicles
6 GÇó Should be able to lock-on to Area Designators (Sidearm or Utility Module), Paints an "Area" for Lock-On
7 GÇó Scope should show Areas "Capable" of being Locked on to. |

Well I was talking purely different variations, think along the lines of RPG, Stinger, Javlin. They are good because they are focused against more specific targets, but also work best when working as a team.
To me the Heavy shouldn't be the "Solo Artist" they are right now but rather something that is to be feared when working with a Sniper for example for target painting. That was just my concept.
Besides if any of you are "worried" over new skills be added... well tough really. CCP will be expanding the skills available as new things become available, kitten look at the second-from-last release. They overhauled so much skills wise. |
