Energy Sword

[Spartan-228]

We have a sniper, a rocket launcher, and a pistol that is more an assault rifle.
So how about a space age sword. I don't care what you call it, I jut think it would be cool to have.

Melee weapons would be nice, especially if they are "silient" meaning that you can sneak into an enemy ship and assasinate it's crew one by one without the captain even noticing.

 

[Crimson-Artist]

according to the commands for NPC animations there appears to be both a bare handed melee attack as well as pistol whip animation

 

[ToyotaSupra]

I know we have weapons with infinite ammo but what could go wrong with using what God gave you? Sneak up behind someone and...give em the old one-two.

Me hitting you, you hitting the floor an the ambulance hitting 70. Sounds simple enough to me. In later dates we could maybe make it look like they broke their helmet or something, or take it off.

Halberds, because screw conventional melee weapons.

 

[Dragon2000]

what about the good old klingon weapon the bat'leth very deadly but simple to make so you could infact use the factory system to make it and besides this game needs a few melee weapons (more than one)

I won't be satisfied until I can club someone over the head with a cubic meter of cactus or lava.

Bat'leths are a terrible weapon. Very unwieldy.

Too unwieldy, can we have pikes instead?

u wot m8

A Halberd is a shorter pike with an axe.

All games with any kind of combat mechanic will inevitably get a lightsaber mod. It's kind of like Godwin's rule in that it always happens. Call it the Lucas rule.

they are more useful than you think there not a stab weapon there a slash weapon designed to kill wound disarm your enemies and can be used to great effect in combat

 

[BaseHead808]

i hope we get a light saber or something of the sort. maby a laser sword and metal mele weapons like a knife or a traditional sword

They're bloody clumsy.

A sword can slash and stab. Why would I go for a weapon that has less versatility and is consumed by the age old problem of 'form over function'?

The bat'leth is obviously a ceremonial weapon, and is incredibly impractical. A D'k tahg or a Mek'leth are a much better choice. But the choice of a sword or a Bat'leth? Sword, every time. Preferably a leaf bladed one.

to each their own but if this game ever does get modding support later down the line i hope there will be a mod for multiple klingon weapons

But I like trailing a pike with a cool looking hat!!!

Imagine space pike in a narrow corridor, insta denial of area till someone shoots :p

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like some retractable wrist bayonets, either physical or energy. As they do require you to get up close and personal (possibly advancing through a hail of weapons fire) these melee weapons should do considerably more damage than a pistol. Realistically, a well-made weapon wielded by a trained warrior dude is just as deadly as a sniper rifle. Energy blade? Even more so I should think.

This could be done with a beam-like effect with about the range of the handheld salvage beam.

I'd rather not bother with energy weapons of any kind. I've always found them very boring.

What do you think your pistol and sniper are?
