Yup - why not.

a 3m range - Cutting knives back to 2m (arm + blade length + game mechanics), but giving them a lunge, then making a sword with 4m range would be reasonable. - heavy attacks like the nova knife but main hand. More of a 1-2 hit kill maybe 2-3 for heavies and suited assault. Long sweeping attack range maybe 180 degrees or 60 depending on the speed between swings. I was thinking a long pause between swings like the charge shots in a sniper rifle.

It would be great defence weapon a commando. equipping it to combat shotgun, nova knifes and CQC.

It would be fun for assassin type scouts - who are right now using Nova Knifes a side arm as their main weapon.

Nova Shield - again great for heavies.

I was thinking off-hand. It would have a damage absorb. So like after 2000 damage the shield drops.

It would change tactics and allow CQC to be more fun and less spray your weapon down the hallway and hope.

The other option is Main-hand with the ability to use your off-hand weapon at the same time. Shield and pistol. Jus for fun I am thinking about this - My concern would be Submachine gun and shield would be a nasty combination to run into in CQC.

You could also have two shield types large and small. small shield would be easier to carry and absorb 1000 damage before pop. I would like to try a small shield and a nova knife - very Viking like LOL

Would love to see some racial sword variants in the game.

Caldari

Gallente

Minmatar

Amarr

Tried to go with ideas similar to the racial knives.

As far as shields are concerned sure why not maybe a bubble shield though as it has more use.

shield ex: 1

shield ex: 2

I know some QQ will lose it saying why not (all the hand held weapons) and ruin the game. But that is extreme and over the top. There should be room for some hand-held weapons like other games similar to this one.

I am just brainstorming - 10m is a effective range for a FPS CQC. Maybe 5m would be more reasonable depending on the weapons damage and speed.

You mean 1 man vehicle speeder - That is a different thread and highly wanted from what I have read. Please check other threads for that as its more about vehicles then weapons.

More of a 1-2 hit kill maybe 2-3 for heavies and suited assault. Long sweeping attack range maybe 180 degrees or 60 depending on the speed between swings.... 1 story of a building is about 3m or so. So that's a sword with a swing as long/tall as a 3-story building with an arc that would hit everything in a half circle in front of the character? Actually, It depends of the type of the building. If You Suppose a Theater ,a Church or a GYM, You'll see that the height must be more than 6 meters...But The height of Normal Buildings such as residential Buildings or Offices is usually between 3-3.5 meters.(from floor to floor)and 2.8-3 meters from floor to under the ceiling. And again the diameter of the ceiling depends on the stuffs that have been used for.

I am guessing trolling the stats I made for the weapon means you like the idea but would make different stats Would be more helpful to have some stat suggestions for the weapon instead of trolling remarks about it.. But such as game forums go I guess. Leaves me wondering if they support the idea? don't or just want to troll.. I think the last option most likely hehe. No comments on the Nova Shield - Means no complains about the idea so do it CCP !! LoL Cheers

Count the arm length and you can MAYBE argue 4m on a sword swing, more easily so if you want to have game mechanics trumping logic. 3m range on a KNIFE is all kinds of ridiculous, and also, 10m is SHOTGUN range. Keep in mind that MELEE weapons aren't going to be hitting remotely close to CQC gun range, and never should be. Cutting knives back to 2m (arm + blade length + game mechanics), but giving them a lunge, then making a sword with 4m range would be reasonable. I will add this to the Over post

You are not allowed to like swords. Only Maces, Mauls, and Polearms! Jack McReady wrote: I want a giant nova club As for you....I want my Nova mace you I can bash your rebellious Minmatar skull in. Templars used swords irl what are you talking about.. anyway our story line is Sisters of EvE Knights. Protecting their planetary temple installations.
