I know what you guys are probably thinking: Why would we want a laser heavy machinegun when we already have a heavy machinegun available? Well, to be honest lasers are a nightmare on shields right? and the caldari and minmatar focus on shields right? I was thinking that this could be used to take out LAVs, Dropships, and any other thing like these that focuses on shields but is not as light and squishy as a merc but not as strong and bulky as a HAV. let's face it, it's only a matter of time before LAVs and dropships come out which are meant for shield tanking and this could be the proper counter. any thoughts? |

uhm..... there are so many things wrong with what you just said
for one, forge guns... nuff said there
and two, you acting as if the regular HMG is for taking down armor
and three shield tanking already exists and has exisited since the start |

I think this will be the arc cannon from Templar One. Continuous lightning (okay plasma, but lightning is also plasma) beam filling role of hmg for Amarr and doing em damage.
Projectile(smg and hmg) weapons do more damage to armour the shields, but they are not anti-vehicle.
Forge gun is about equal damage to shields and armour, we will need a Amarr em(anti-shield) anti-tank and Minmatar explosive shell(anti-armour) anti-tank eventually. big laser cannon and recoilless rifle perhaps. |
