Have you ever been Nova knifed? I mean completely assassinated by a Nova Knife

I would like to suggest we increase the damage of Nova knifes. They should be 1 shot kill for any suit under 500 total armor/shields. Decrease the range to like 2m

Then add Nova Swords, with a 8m range with the damage of the current Nova knifes. This would be a fun weapon - Great for my Commando! or maybe a smart dedicated scout assassin. If it was a light weapon some people might carry it and a nova knife.

CCP you said there would be assassins and the option to cloak (or be unseen - logi). DUST still does not support the ability to assassinate players and get away as a possible playing style. The Nova knifes are more of a back up then a useable front weapon. People are sniping for assassination, SO lets make some active 15sec cloak or something so I can assassinate a guy and run away to assassinate another!

if you think nova knives are useless you should have seen Spec Ops Cipher when he use to use them
and swords should do more damage tan knives (coz they are freaking swords)

With less than 2 mil SP he was able to One-Hit-Kill hackers or people changing fits at Supply Depots. I am not sure.. but I would like to see an assassin style useable as a front line attack and not just a back up. What do you think of the Nova Sword? I would like a melee assassination weapon. Shogun vs Nova sword battles would also be fun! Then I would also like to see 15-sec cloak (30 sec cool down). Or something to truly ambush and use assassin techniques.

If CCP ever did come out with a Nova Sword I'd have to put it on my Fatty suit main for the lulz. I like the Minja name LOL - Should make an alt with that name

Slow down there dreamer, we of little minds can't keep up... In fact I can only think of negative things to not support ideas because my IQ is under 125 and I can't really think out of the box. YUP

I am ripping the sword idea from Halo but it was a fun playing style? Modified by CCP it could rock!

I am. wow, I have never been killed by nova knifes. I have rarely seen it ingame. What do you think of my nova sword and active cloak idea? I think the cloak should have a timer like 15secs not perma cloak. Or a perma cloak that is still kinda visible at close range like halo. Anyway, I wish assassination style combat was a more playable option.
