What does that have to do with the Plasma Cannon? |

But see, look at the aperture. Doesn't it remind you of the aperture of the current shotgun? Super-heavy scatter-shot cannon, maybe? |

Start salivating. looks like a AV wep....swarms might just be fine the way they are.
HOW does it automatically look like an AV weapon just because it's shoulder-fired?!
Honestly, I don't see a reason why this couldn't be some kind of heavy shotgun, or some other anti-infantry focused weapon. I mean, we have perfectly good AV weapons already (with the exception of Swarms, which are being fixed). I'm hoping this one is made for killing people. |

[DEV] Plasma Cannon
Description:
"A mid-range anti-material weapon, the shoulder-mounted rocket launcher provides infantry squads with the means to effectively engage armored vehicles. Modified from Frigate ship technology, the CBR7 is a man-portable rocket launcher allowing single units to deliver devastating payloads against material targets."
So I would imagine this is a racial variant for the swarm launcher, due to similar description.
edit:
And that part which I bolded would indicate that it does it's primary damage to armor not shields. Found this. i could have sworn i saw somewhere that a dev said a new swarm launcher variant that was very different from the current is being worked on so i would guess that this is what they were mentioning.
****. More AV weapons. Can a brotha get a regular gun? |

It's Gallente, so it's like a short range, crazy powerful forge gun. GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW GALLENTE FTW Oh and minor props to the minmatar and caldari. RESPECT THE GURISTAS and give the Angels what they've earned in coalition with serpentis and the blood raiders for striking fear into the residence of the amarr empire. F*ck SANSHA'S NATION! Caldari ftw
Caldari faction best faction.
Wait, I re-read that quote, and that's a copy of the Swarm Launcher description. |

Our relationship with the Amarr is purely a business one, not a real alliance. And we left the Federation to escape the corruption and false "freedom" that they harp on about. True freedom should be earned by individual achievement, not given to you on a pretext.

It would look like this one will be the heavy-hitting unguided weapon some people have been looking for. CCP nothin said it had a moderate amount of splash, too, so you might be able to kill infantry with it as well. |

Well, certainly not wide, sweeping balance changes at least. It'll be interesting to see how well this baby performs. I'm also really hoping this can be used to kill infantry, like say one-shotting a heavy with a direct shot to the face. |

RedBleach LeSanglant wrote:crazy space wrote:Jason Pearson wrote:Oh dear.. my poor tank.. this why there should be no balance changes untill everything is out :P Disagree. That is why we are beta testing - the whining and complaining gives some idea to the devs about how to balance the game. Of course I also see your argument that without everything on the table how can it all be balanced. We get pieces to work with and balance. Who knows, with the next build some of the hotfix balancing may be removed to have an idea about how to rebalance the system again. And then again. With each build the refinement process is more complete and as the whole begins to appear with the placement of each new segment the foundation for a smooth game is solidified. Keep the faith (in honor of Amarr)
As always, the important thing is a balance. YOu don't want everything to be OP or UP right up until the last build before launch and then try and balance it all at once, and you don't want to constantly balance every new thing as soon as it comes out and before any of its counters are in, because then you end up with Starhawk. |
