I too would like to go Hansel and Gretel on some bitches as well. Perhaps a plasma-thrower since fire wouldn't damage our high tech suits. |

The plasma flame thrower is to the shotgun:
-what the forge gun is to the sniper rifle
-what the HMG is to the assault rifle.
Could behave like the Reegar Carbine from Mass Effect 3. http://youtu.be/g-rov3jhxP4?t=3m25s
I really wish people use the search function. |

Also this isn't your thread, it's that other guy's, so why not try and elicit his opinion rather than lamenting the fact that he didn't use search to find your previous thread, or whatever you're getting at with your final sentence.
Commenters on a thread don't have any responsibility to get the original poster to say his opinions. The original poster has to say what he means in the original poster, he can say what he wants without anyone needing to nudge him.
Regarding the analogies:
An assault rifle and HMG are both anti-infantry weapons with short-mid range capabilities. In a way, the HMG is the heavy version of the assault rifle.
A sniper rifle and a forge gun are both long range high damage weapon. In a way, the HMG is a the heavy version of a sniper rifle.
The way I envision the plasma flamethrower, it is much like a heavy version of the shotgun. Close range, and very high damage in a short burst.
EDIT: I linked the Reegar Carbine because its a flamethrower-style weapon that acts like a shotgun. |

Considering how real military flamethrowers were hefty weapons requiring massive fuel tanks, this is probably the best fit for a New Eden version. I don't even think I need to add much more to this aside from it being, strangely, an Amarr device - what other than an enslaving empire could come up with such a fiendish weapon?
Yes, and yes  |

I don't see why plasma won't work. Its superheated charged gas, blasting that out at someone would definitely hurt someone. The reason the assault rifles don't work that way is because the plasma is contained in a magnetic field to keep it in bullet shape. |

We need a heavy Amarr weapon. It makes no sense for them to have a heavy suit, but no heavy weapon. |

It's a hydrogen jet combustion with grips that requires your Heavy suit to remain still as you fire a massive jet of hydrogen flame.
It's Minmatar, it's a heavy weapon, it's balanced.
Because hydrogen becomes water after combustion, electrolysis could be used to restore fuel. So maybe that would be some sort of future rigging?
EDIT: Just went on Wikipedia. Did you know Hydrogen glows purple in its plasma state?
Dust needs more purple, I love purple.
Still should be Amarr since they have a heavy but no heavy weapon for it. |
