nope, the nova knife bonus is great! a good nova knifer really apreciates this bonus, and in the description its supposed to be the best melee suit in the game... but with only 80 melee dmg however, the nova knife bonus means I dont need to fit a sidearm dmg mod saving VERY valuble cpu/pg.

I think they get less punch because ANYONE can fit thier weapons, where aa heavily tanked amarr assault can have a combat rifle.

range bonuses would end up being crap or OP, the damage bonus means I'm taking down heavys slightly faster, just enough to kill them with the first charged slash instead of a second slash. it might not sound like much, but its alot and removing that bonus would not only be a nerf to ALOT of the scouts I know and myself.
have you ever tried knifing a proto gal? that bonus helps.

a good nova knifer can, I commonly get matches with 20+ kills and less than 5 deaths with knives and REs.
