Also, to fix the "situational need" for a heavy weapon, there should always be a biotic AND tech power equivalent. Or even better, heavy weapons shouldn't negate biotic and tech powers. Why would I ever need to use overload or singularity when I have the arc projector or blackstorm weapon? Why would I ever need to use incinerate or cryo blast when I have guns that simulate the same effects, without having to worry about cool down? The cain, grenade launcher, and the rocket launcher are great examples of how heavy weapons should work. The rest of them only further push the idea that the Soldier and Vanguard are the best classes in the games.

Would utilize such an option, were it implemented. All Shepard wants is to look good, and that's hard when there's huge, superfluous guns all over the back of Shepard's armor.

I'd only like to give up a weapon slot for something in return.
With certain weapons having awful 'lolammo' stocks it makes it impractical to take them in a minimalist equipment setup.

If I were also giving up HWs, I'd rather be able to just equip a regular weapon in their place, rather than just nerfing myself because 'oh noez the bulk; my eyes!'.

Yep. Agreed. Why should I should carry a heavy weapon? I never use it..

So you don't use them to take down mechs, gunships and other larger enemies?

I'm the same way. With basic use of powers like Incinerate and Warp and the sniper or heavy pistol for any class that doesn't have the sniper, Armored enemies pose no threat at all. Then with Overload or disruptor ammo to take out shielding the YMIR Mechs are pretty remedial to take down, even more so when you combine the Mattock with the above powers, plus Warp or AP ammo and even the most difficult encounters are taken care of in no time. I never use heavy weapons and just collect credits whenever I come across a crate of power cells.

well,i say its a quite good idea,specially in mass effect 1 i hated having so many weapons but scince i wanted a more...tactical aproach to the game i went with vanguard,meaning i only used 2

Heavy weapons are pointless. Upgraded versions of your standard guns have a much higher DPS than any of them.
The Cain is probably the only useful one and thats only on the levels with a boss fight you want to make shorter.

Like this idea. I mainly use the pistol for range and switch between the SMG and shotgun close in, but I'd happily leave the shotgun behind if given the option.

locust SMG outranges and outdamages any  pistol in the game. The only other worthwhile weapons are snipers, the mattock and the grenade launcher. Perhaps the geth plasma shotgun too.

Going purely by the reticle, the pistol is easier to aim at range than the SMG. Granted, I don't think I got the Locust.
