MAX Customization: Get rid of one gun to have a bigger gun

[RNFB]

Just a simple customization where you can lose your left/right gun and make your other gun twice as powerful. It would be the same damage output as having two of the same gun, so you're just customizing to have the classic (for NC/VS) one weapon style instead of always dual wielding

[Zekeen]

This is probably one of the shortest great ideas I've seen around here. That would be rather awesome. I picture it being a hand held MAX 2 handed cannon or something, instead of dual arm mounted guns. Imagine the size of the gun you could have, might even be like a tank cannon!

Well I wasn't really going for literally bigger in size, I just want to roll classic style with one arm cannon

you must have played VS then

[Dagron]

I like the idea of a bigger weapon.

Spoice moreens! Shewt ta keel... *splat*

Huge two handed mini gun pls

Maybe not directly related to the other guns but maybe have weapons that take up both slots that are fairly impressive.

Does anyone have ideas for such a gun? I suppose the vanu one would be something akin to a hyper beam, kinda like direct-fire artillery, and have a variant for each empire.

All in all, the possibilities for max attachments have me pumped. I love the ideas the devs put into it.

The original idea seems wholly superfluos to me, but this:

I think I like.

For the VS I'm thinking a continuous beam laser that's at least reasonably effective against all targets.

Great idea!

Let us remove the left weapon and put a shield in its place.

I'd prefer not to have the asymmetric designs of old, with the exception of having a utility item in one of the slots. Like a massive shield for instance?

I too have thought of this. Maybe a single hand wielded weapon like a large handgun/smg and a shield.

There could also be a MELEE weapon used in one arm for those extra close encounters. I wonder if I have the talent to draw a MAX suit... they are rather complex.

Stickman max suit go!

I don't necessarily think you need a weaker weapon in the off hand when using a shield. The loss of firepower should be penalty enough for the defensive gain.
A MAX melee weapon is something that has crossed my mind though...but probably not something incredibly effective considering that mobility isn't exactly their strong suit.
I could see the waves of bads getting shot to pieces thinking they are space marines right now...

Seemed fitting.

I'd take my anti-infantry MAX with flamethrower and riot-shield.

Not some energy shield that protects you from every direction, but huge plate of metal that is practicly unpenetrable (at least with infantry weapons) from front. Dunno, maybe they could make it big enough to protect 1~2 infantry next to/behind you.. use the 'attack' button to activate and rise/open it up?
