Ulysses Knapse Nuevo Atlas Corporation 127	Posted - 2013.03.22 07:57:00 - [1] - Quote The Rotary Gauss Gun is a Heavy weapon pioneered by Ishukone. It is a very powerful automatic weapon that must charge up before firing. After charging up, it continually fires a hailstorm of highly damaging flechettes at the enemy. These flechettes have amazing accuracy and range, at least compared to Assault Rifles and other HMGs. The RGG occupies a long-range niche, allowing a Heavy to fire at an enemy at distance. Compared to the HMG, the RGG is only moderately useful at close-range. It lacks the spread and brute force of the HMG. Unlike the HMG, however, the RGG can accurately hit distant targets. The Rotary Gauss Gun is essentially a Caldari HMG. The Rotary Gauss Gun possesses a box-style magazine, a rounded capacitor array and two spinning gauss barrels. Advantages over the Minmatar HMG The RGG has a far greater range and a tighter spread, allowing it to reliably hit distant targets. The RGG has much less falloff, meaning the projectile can travel further without losing damage potential. The RGG suffers no additional inaccuracy when it begins to fire. The RGG deals more damage against Shields than the HMG. Disadvantages over the Minmatar HMG The HMG has a higher rate of fire. The HMG has a higher DPS at close to medium-range. The HMG does not need to charge before use. The HMG deals more damage against Armor than the RGG. Roles of the RGG The RGG provides suppressive fire at long-range similar to the HMG at close-range. The RGG acts as an anti-sniper weapon, making it the first Heavy weapon truly capable of that job. The RGG, with proper use, can substitute for a HMG in certain situations.

Vermaak Doe SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 605	Posted - 2013.03.23 18:54:00 - [4] - Quote I'd rather a caldari heavy weapon be a bit more precise, what I had in mine was a single shot rifle that had a relatively slow but seeking missile go after exactly where the rifle hit.

Basically a sniper rifle with a single shot taped onto a forge gun that had a much slower projectile velocity? Meh.

It supports caldari ship classification with rails supporting missiles But the Caldari generally don't put rails and missiles on the same ship. They generally prefer either rails or missiles. Some exceptions, sure, but on a handheld infantry weapon? That seems a bit extreme. The Caldari generally prefer raw efficiency over how unique a weapon is.
Heathen Bastard Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 58	Posted - 2013.03.24 07:21:00 - [8] - Quote hmmm, maybe this would fit better the first shot is a simple tag and sets off a hit marker to the enemy(possibly some kind of small alarm noise made by the tag) that the missile itself tracks on. The missile can be fired up to 5 seconds later and tracks the tag. you wait 5 seconds and the tag dies and has to be re-fired. missile has very small radius, meant for taking out high armour infantry targets(explosives deal extra to armor, reduced to shields) a type of marksman's support weapon( good players will recognize the tag and hide, cutting them from the main force the rest of the team has to fight) though, I think the tag's lifetime may need a cut. edit: oh, and the tag does no damage on it's own. And I like the rotary gauss gun idea.

Both the scorpion and raven Bs can plausibly fit railguns and hybrids, while the pre patch ferox had 2 free slots for missiles after taking up it's hybrid bonus

Hexen Trickster The Southern Legion 19	Posted - 2013.03.24 15:29:00 - [12] - Quote This sounds highly op, perhaps if it had some sort of setup/teardown time to allow people to flank it

Maybe consolidate the weapon suggestions into one thread? :O Seeing like six threads get bumped (Bumping is against the rules FYI) at once just makes people go o.o

And what about the Gallente Light Weapon? Which one is that? Oh, the Assault Rifle you say? No, wait, the Shotgun? Oh, the Plasma Cannon!... If you don't see where I'm going here, you may be better off finding a game that is less intellectually challenging for a person such as yourself.

Anyone ever told you that? Now that I think about it, does the forge gun seem like it would be useful for mining? A mining laser would seem more likely.....maybe they were secretly developing it TO BE a weapon and once they revealed it they needed a cover story! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!
