Its really a shame that we have only 2 unique heavy weapons and I would really like to see at least four types of heavy weapons. I dont mean different racial variants with the same purpose and just slighly adjusted stats but really different ones.
Because we have one Anti-Infantry and one AV weapon these should be one multi purpose and another AV weapon.
The multi purpose should be a mid-high range weapon that inflicts damage to every enemy within its range and spread field like a flame thrower. I thought on something like a tesla coil that sends lightning bolts that jump from every metall to another so you can vary its range a bit by using the environment.
The AV weapon could be low-mid range weapon that does damage over time to a few targets. I thought on a weapon that shoots a large bolt that injects nanites to the hitten object and creates some kind of nanite cloud that damges everyone who enters it. If you hit a vehicle the passengers are also affected by it. The cloud and the nanites vanish after 20-30 seconds.
If you have think I have missed something post it.
Edit:
These are ones I would like to have then:
Low range crowd control weapon
HMG
High range AV weapon
Forge gun
Mid range effect over time AV weapon
Nanite rocket, Electric pulse thrower
Mid range effect over time weapon
Lightning bolt gun, Flame thrower
All range multi pupose weapon
Mortar
I havent written down racial variants. |

I run a Heavy HMG and Forge! I like things the way they are currently. Any new addition of weapons would scream OP! We will have a lot of whining and QQing if the heavies get any more power! I like forge gunning people in their face and love blowing up LAVs with my HMGs.
I also love flucking people up in CQC! I am a happy bunny! 
Although a new set of weapons would be cool! I would rather have my previous HP back though! |

Seeing as the Amarr are the ones pioneering the Heavy Dropsuit class, I feel it is weird they never made a laser weapon for it. Truthfully, seeing as there are four major types of damage dealers in New Eden (Hybrids, Projectiles, Lasers, and Rocket Systems) I think it's fair to say we should at least see one of each on the Hoovs. |

I am all for a flame thrower. The last time is drew a lot of flak though. I think flame throwers would be an asset during skirmishes. It would be good for crowd/blob control! |

Not that a flamer wouldn't be nice, but it feels to similar to the HMG. Short range crowd control. |

Make a Gatling Laser like the HMG but has a capacitor which deals out massive shield damage then decreases damage output as the cap drains, then when you stop firing after about a second it recharges. you would also have ammo for it as well, the cap is just like an overheating mechanic. |

A extra large swarm, could just fire more missiles then light version.
A Gallente point blank high damage hybrid. maybe 40m range shotgun with very high damage. Spread makes it work on hav at its max range, but about regular shot gun range to hit infantry.
Giant mass driver
Laser rifles, heavy beam like current but with more range and slow ammo regeneration(recharging from fusion reactor on backpack).
Pulse laser with longer range and lower dps then hmg, but ammo slow regeneration and laser quirks(less damage at close range, works better on shield then armour..)
Large missile that allows control from missile point of view, like redeemer from unreal or Israeli spike missile family. This could be a light weapon as a alternative to swarm also, could be Gallente version of anti-vehicle missile.
A flame thrower could do damage over time, this would make it different enough to hmg even if it was in same role. Maybe each hit does 1 damage per sec for 20 seconds. Or the preheating makes other weapons do bonus damage while the fire is still burning. |

Forgegun seem quite multi-purpose to me.
We could use some Heavy missle launcher.
A torpedo launcher perhap. A lock-before-shoot single large homing missle that do insane dmg but is slow and not so good at homing/hitting moving target. More like anti-installation weapon.
And a AOE weapon either a big scattergun, a giant mass driver or even a mortar . effect large area but isn't that lethal. It's not aiming for a kill but a support weapon that can give supression fire to a large area. |

The flamethrower would be another variant of the multi purpose weapon.
Why should a LIGHT maschine gun be a heavy weapon?

If you mean the one from the E3 trailer its unfortunately just a normal laser rifle.

If you watch the intro video when the dudes drop on to the planet it is a heavy that is shooting the laser rifle. I think it was intended to be used on the heavy platform. Maybe that's why it is so terrible on any other infintry platform. But a heavy specific laser would be sweet too. |

forge gun can actually be used as anti personal weapon just fine, it just requires alot of SP and one of the non basic forge guns.

normal shotgun already one shots people even without a full headshot (which should be nerfed imho). we dont need more one shot weapons... |

Its not a heavy weapon but there could be heavy melee weapons too. That if your a heavy you run with a war hammer like halo has instead of the nova knife. |

Doesn't the DUST 514 opening CG show 3 heavies, the center one with a big (assuming laser) rifle? Therefore, I expect many more heavy weapons to be on the way. If you think about it, every weapon type should have a heavy variant. Would love to see what the heavy mass driver looks like and reacts.
The heavy infantry dropsuit is very under utilized currently and I believe that is due to lack of heavy weapons. |

Amarr heavy weapon: Electrolaser rifle.
"An electrolaser is a type of electroshock weapon which is also a directed-energy weapon. It uses lasers to form an electrically conductive laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC). A fraction of a second later, a powerful electric current is sent down this plasma channel and delivered to the target, thus functioning overall as a large-scale, high energy, long-distance version of the Taser electroshock gun."
It would be a crowd control weapon that has the effects of an EMP (shield damage, slows down infantry, slows down vehicles, makes HUD get glitchy for a few sconds). |

I wanna know where the handheld howitzer is, 30mm maybe? Maybe 50mm. Heavy mortar for popping rounds over obstacles? How about just a heavy caliber maching gun with slower rof than the current hmg, but better range and better single shot dmg.
More diversity is an option and is needed IMO. |

True but the HMG is supposed to be better against armor and less so for shields, this would be the one for use against shields and do less damage to armor. That way you would have a HMG o HML to choose depending on if you are up against a lot of shield dropsuits or armor dropsuits. |

Also, it stands to reason a HML would have better medium range capabilities than the HMG. |

But that are such small variations. It has the same purpose like the HMG but it shoots laser beams instead of projectiles hence it has a bit higher range and is better against shields. |

It would be another weapon for his AV weapon type: Mid range, some effect over time. |

Ok I know I am risking being voted down for this idea, but how about making MD a heavy only weapon - update graphics to make it look more heavy-like. Increase the damage and ammo capacity significantly. As a result you would get a powerful weapon but limited in a way that only heavies can carry it thus balancing it. This way you would have a heavy weapon with unique characteristics. Meanwhile MD would get a boost that would make it more usable - right now it's kind of a meh weapon. |

I'd rather have an ammo system and just load EMP rounds... |
