I mean they're aparently supposed to be one of the best hand to hand combat specialist in New Eden, even have a bonus for it, but their base melee damage is tiny and with ony 3 high slots, on a sheild tanked suit, you're not going to be throwing many haymakers......
Something that was overlooked or what?

You're punching said suit with another suit, with just as much protection, with extreme force it's like hitting a steel sheet with a sledgehammer in that regard: both hard, but one's coming in with force.

You're punching said suit with another suit, with just as much protection, with extreme force it's like hitting a steel sheet with a sledgehammer in that regard: both hard, but one's coming in with force. Edit: in any case if the blues want the melee to be useless then atleast remove the Matari scout's bonuses to it, the rifles kill to quickly for it to be of much use barring finishing someone off , if I want to kill someone in CQC that's what my blades are for, the melee simply takes too long. I do admit the nova knives are a bit useless and broken. With that being said they shouldn't be an insta-kill weapon either. 289 melee damage seems to be quite fine given how fast you move. I see more and more scouts rushing into combat instead of picking off stragglers and flanking. Perhaps that's your issue as well? I recall seeing you in an ambush the other day where you ran head first into a group of enemies who were plastering you with bullets. I'm not dictating your entire play style on that one action but that's definitely the number one thing scouts should not do. If anything they just need better hit detection (please not like the commando perk in CoD: MW2) and perhaps a bit more damage for the Minmatar Scout class. I could see them being a bit more capable at a modest 300 melee damage fully specced out with mods. That would mean 2-3 hit kills on almost anything but a heavy. Proper use of flux grenades/locus and you could one hit just about anything that's not a heavy.
Don't touch my blades. 
If you saw me running into a bunch of hostiles I was most likely:
A: Dicking around.
B:In a basic suit.
C:Loosing and decided if I'm going down they were getting REed.
D: Not paying attention.
E: Dicking around.
As for the bonus for the melee I'd be happy with a 200 or so base, just a random number but dammit it needs some kinda increase.

Not to mention the Minny Scout should have a higher base melee attack and have the bonus apply to both the knives and melee strikes. Let them be quite assassins. Nova Knives do get benefits from myofibril... False. Myrofybril only affects punch damage. Sidearm damage mods affects KNs. Weird right?
indeed.

I was going to ask whether myofbrilwatevas or sidearm dmg mods were better, easy choice if they don't.
They do not.

Something that was overlooked or what? Edit: the discription for this suit is extremely misleading.  Lol, were you expecting it to be well thought out in a game where you can get skill bonuses for weapons that don't exist.
shush you.
