Heavy Blaster for fighters/interceptors

Hi there, something that I’ve asked myself about recently is why there is no Heavy Blaster-sort of weapon for Interceptors or Fighters. I think it would be a very nice and fun thing for people enjoy playing with it but I think that it’s pretty difficult to use at times, because it’s only accessable to Frigates. Let me hear your opinion. Of course if this would ever be implemented i think that the range would be a bit shorter. See’ya all! 

Oh, nonononononononono!

 

No.

 

Interceptors have Pulse Lasers. That’s about as close a weapon as they need. If you want spread, use a Shrapnel Cannon.

 

They gave ECM a small Coil Mortar, and the grief never ends. There is no way interceptors should have a Heavy Blaster. Sorry, but no.

Heavy blaster for interceptors : Rapid fire blaster.

This. ^

 

 

Also, you’ll have forgive me for being slightly biased against interceptors.

  1. Inty-balls are ok, but frig-balls are bad (according to devs).

  2. Intys get resistance to explosive damage.

  3. Intys get bonus to capture rate.

  4. Plasma Arc.

 

There is almost nothing they are weak against, because of course the smallest ship in the game deserves to be better[/sarcasm]. Even Recons seem to be designed to take on Tacklers, which are the Inty hunters.

 

Bah, offtopic.

Oh heck NO !  

 

Heavy Blaster just ripps Frigates apart.   

 

Bad enough … we have to deal Interceptors with Plasma Arc…  Scrapnel cannon… RF Blaster  Plasma gun …  

 

Tacklers and Gunships with rail guns… guass cannons… Bubble gun  and just plain NASTY ION BEAM

Just if coil mortars could go on interceptors :smiley:

Actually pulse lasers are better than heavy lasers.

 

There is a considerably smaller spread, and there is 0 projectile speed.

 

Also there DPS per cannon is even close.

 

Heavy blasters would never get used because they wouldn’t be good enough.

Even if they had the extra range.

Inty swarms are almost everywhere and they’re hurting the game just like frig balls are. And don’t go and tell me, guards can kill the swarm. Your friendly ECM on the enemy team will just shut you down while your being plasma arced in the butt.

 

Heavy blaster for the little rascals would just be the end of all we know lol.

And the beginning of the new Interceptor ConflictTM.
