Also, an alternative would be to give HMG's a wind-up time.

Well, everyone has an opinion on the issue people have with heavies, so YOU WILL VOTE ON IT! It likely won't change CCP's mind if they've already come to a decision on what they plan to do, but it might give CCP an idea of how we'd like it handled if they aren't dead set yet. So, here are your options:

you're just doing this for the likes

clever basterd!

To vote, simply "like" the option you think would be best moving forward.

How about a Dev doing this so you don't get any Likes for people getting to vote either way?

Tricky. How is your facebook account doing?

I hate people asking for a heavy nerf. I don't usually take this crap personally, but its like you people want to ruin the game for anyone who doesn't use the same dropsuit or weapon as you. I especially hate the ones who never used HMGs before and yet think you have a reliable opinion on it. You need to have experienced it from both ends to get a full appreciation for both the strengths and weaknesses of both the weapon.

HMGs are powerful, but they have to be equipped on heavies who are very slow, have the highest signature profile of any dropsuit which makes them easy to detect (and easy to take them out from range *hint*), they can't carry any equipment like nanohives to resupply themselves. HMGs are almost unstoppable in their optimal range, just like snipers are almost unstoppable at long range, or shotguns are almost unstoppable at very close range. If you want to beat a HMG user, then don't get close to them, and use an AR, sniper, or laser to kill them from a distance. They are not OP, you just need to exploit their weaknesses and play tactically instead of whining and asking for nerfs.
Its not some regular light weapon, its a freakin heavy only weapon, its suppose to shred through enemies.
