I would love to have a laser rifle power set. I bet the reason we cant have them is because the dev's know that we want to be able to color the laser beam and they can't do that.... yet.
I would also like to have dual laser pistols, and single laser pistol. O and BFG Energy cannon and and and....

They're also totally in sync with the popular bullet-ballet crap that Hollywood does in their heroic adventures... and the ridiculous poses that oh-so-many firearm-users are placed in the comics.
They're, for better or worse, part of the genre... along with underwear on the outside of the tights, paper-thin-transparent "secret" identities, incredibly ineffective fighting techniques, weapons the size of buicks, bulletproof nudity*, lycra-fitting armor that can stop bullets but still manage to tear in just the right places for fanservice (female characters only), mortal wounds treated as 'just a flesh wound," miraculous returns from the grave... repeatedly... yet it surprises everyone every time. The over-the-top gunfire animations should be here.
And so should energy weapons.
They shouldn't just be another weapon to tack on to assault rifle or pistol. Many of the rifle powers just don't fit the laser weapon theme.... same goes with the curving bullets of the bullet ballet. Give them something that fits the various ways they're represented in sci fi.
I suspect you're far more likely to get an altenrate energy blast animation than a new set that does pretty much the same thing as energy blast.

That would work. I'd really like to see most blast sets (ice, fire, energy, etc) to have alternate item-based animations (tech-ish gun, magic wand/staff/sword/hammer, etc.)

Every year since CoV came out I've either requested this myself or /signed another person's suggestion. I would love to have a Corrupter or Blaster with an Energy weapon set with some extra toys like Photon grenade. I still hold out hope that someday it will come.

Nuts to that, I want a focused, constant beam laser gun (e.g. the laser gun from Akira) that does half energy and half fire damage.

Branching Paragon Police Department Epic Archetype, please!
How hard could this set possible be to bring to fruition

I can totally imagine a hypothetical laser rifle set that came with a toggle that did constant damage (in perhaps a small aoe) to whoever you had targeted, at the expense of decreasing your move speed and defense. Similar to the Heavy's minigun from TF2.

Remember the PBAoE laser attack Iron Man used at the end of Iron Man 2? Yeah I want that for a Pulse Rifle Tier 9 power.
I heard an idea a long time ago for a Pulse Rifle set that sounded really, really cool. Every single target blast is actually an extremely narrow cone, which would simulate the laser going through any foes directly behind the target.
I'd love to see all AR and Pulse Rifles combined and available for all ATs. Yeah yeah, some don't make perfect sense, but neither does a sniper rifle launching grenades and shooting flames.

YOU FOOL! The tier nine should be a locational AoE blast from an orbital satellite cannon!

Given how that entire system is shaping up, I'd rather not have an orbital laser "reserved" for it.

Unless you have some insider information, we don't really have that much concrete information on how it's shaping up, save for some skill descriptions which is likely not final.

Sams just saying he'd rather not have his characters origin and powers locked into such a rigid concept as a orbital laser beam.

Practically any origin can create an orbital laser beam effect, though mutant may have to rely a little on the well for it's explanation (which is presumably intended anyway).|

Tech: Satellite
Natural: Hacked into said satellite
Magic: See example: Marisa Master Spark. (and derivatives) Or any summons (without the excessive animation)
Science: Atomic/Magnetic Manifestation.
Mutant: Reality-warping.
It's not that anyone can use an orbital laser system, it's that anyone can use an orbital laser system in a warehouse, sewer or office building and there isn't a whole in the ceiling.
Warburg Nukes are cool, but if I get a power that recharges a couple times per mission I'm gonna want a power that fits the environmental better then a nuclear missile. I'd rather have something like a really big rocket launcher.
I admit it, I love laser type rifles so much I much rolled up a mostly petless Mastermind. Yeah, he was fairly useless in comparison but, damn, the style!!
Got tired of getting booted though. 
Those fools just have no vision! 
I had high hopes with DP and tracer like amunition, but the animations are just incredibly ridiculous and annoying to me (and a lot of other people). Sorry, they just are.
Now with Praetoria, it seems like every NPC group has the coolest looking weapons. Powersuits, pulse rifles, WRIST GUNS! even.
This may be an old and much discussed request, but cmon Devs, throw us bone here! Is there ANY chance this has been seriously looked at by the development team?
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.
