Laser Mini Guns would be awesome to have (some fallout sh*t lol). It could be under "HMG" but in its own category. The difference between this weapon and the reg HMG would be its accuracy and range. Along with damage ofcource.
The laser minigun, from what I think, should be a infantry suppressor much like the reg HMG but, with higher range and accuracy but with reduced damage. It could fire maybe 3-5 beams at once and get stronger over time (like laser rifle). It wouldn't be as effective in close range (like laser rifles), but would stand toe to toe against the assault rifles at that 'too far for the HMG but just close enough for the AR to tear you apart' range.
I don't have any stats right now but would love to hear feedback on this idea. What do you guys think? |

There is already a laser heavy weapon of sort in the works I believe. |

I support this idea of a laser Gatling gun, bad up close but great at range, would make the heavy less useless other then sticking an AR on it. |

I like the idea. This would probably be the Amarr version of an HMG. I just hope that the put effort into making the weapons look different. I would to just get a yellow HMG |

I think they should focus on fixing the regular laser first.
The laser rifles does ridiculously low damage on armor its only use so far is as a shield thinner. |

This could be cool, I would like some numbers and damage and distance, etc. but it could be cool.

Yeah, a gatling laser is kind of stupid from an engineering perspective.
Also, the current laser rifle works sort of like a minigun already, in that you need to spin it up and you're delivering a constant stream of damage. Just make it bigger, more powerful, and give it some balancing points, and functionally you'll have a laser minigun.

This brings an interesting idea to mind, a hot-switchable laser that you could phase to do better shield damage (EM) versus better armor damage (thermal, I'd assume--hard to see how you'd have explosive lasers, let alone kinetic). The balance would be in the trick of having to pay attention to switch back and forth (otherwise you'd be doing inferior damage), as well as having to spin back up each time you switch.
That's probably making it too complicated, though. Almost everyone would leave it on one setting. |
