Bows are cool and all but hardly sci-fi imo

Long term survival means nothing to us. And a bow isn't something you can just pick up and use proficiently. It takes years of practice and training to hit targets beyond 30m with any degree of reliability, whereas guns can be deadly at hundreds of meters in a few weeks.
So a bow is only as useful to us as immortal mercenaries in how immediately deadly it is. Remember, we aren't dealing with olden armors. we have tritanium armor layers with energy shields. A bow would have to be immensely strong to get through all this with any degree of reliability. So a bow would be very unlikely to be implemented.
Now silencers and guns made for stealth, these would easily exist in the Eve universe, especially amongst the Minmatar. But as for a bow and arrow, the technology is millennia out of date for the level of technology we use. How about arrows with head made of NK, make sence? Still, making no noise Its not really the head Thats the problem. The problem is getting enough force behind that head to cause damage.
Gameplay wise, if arrows were one git kills and had ATC to them, then they would be feasible. But they wouldn't fit lorewise in the New Eden universe
Best PVE idea I've seen.

Just another idea for bringing stone-age weapons into the New Eden universe.
At least one of us beta vets has to bring up Nova Boulders ever since the first Bow thread, I'll be damned if one of these bow threads goes through without a big nova boulder suggestion.
+1 to big nova boulder
And no to nova bows, Dust is not fantasy sci fi.

+1 also to the haters saying its to old to be implemented may i remind you that you can make all the gun's you want but you can still kill some one with an arrow to the heart & hypothetically if the tech from nova knives could be implemented into an arrow all of a sudden you got a ranged weapon with armor penetrating capability that requires extreme accuracy and skill all while being silent.
