emm kay Direct Action Resources 377	Posted - 2015.07.18 16:41:00 - [1] - Quote I was thinking about a variant of novas that could be used as a main weapon. I came up nova swords. These swords are going to be a different mechanic group than the knives. Here is how they work: the swords have a 30 degree wider hit angle than nova knives. The swords don't charge. while 'firing' the weilder will release a series of serated strikes. the swords have amunition, measured in strikes. while reloading, the user is slowed down. by 'aiming' the user loses all passive scans, and therir field of view is cut in half, and the user cannot jump, however, the user will "run" at a very fast pace (Runspeed - WalkSpeed + Runspeed). thoughts about the general mechanics of these swords? There is a reason you never see me in battle. it's because I see you first.

DeadlyAztec11 Defenders of the Helghast Dream 8	Posted - 2015.07.19 02:15:00 - [3] - Quote Nova Sword It is a decent concept though it would be difficult to balance. It should remain a sidearm, it should take longer to take out, do more damage, take longer go charge and have more range. It shouldn't be a stealth weapon. It should be more of a weapon you openly battle with in close quarters. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Or just make it an officer weapon version of the nova knives. A friend and i have discussed this quite a bit. It would do the damage of 2 novaknives in a single swing. Stats adjusted accordingly for an officer weapon. bandwidth lol And totally not p2w haha

DJINN Jecture Templar of the Glowing Blade 425	Posted - 2015.07.19 17:28:00 - [7] - Quote I disagree on the no stealth mechanic, ultimately it would be a melee weapon, only within reach so limiting to no cloak isn't at all fair given we can ohk ppl with some guns (ranged weapon) and kill rather quickly with others (range again). As for sidearm or main weapon, I believe it really would be just fine as either option, as a Main weapon, with a sidearm of nova knives or smg as backup or if as a sidearm a RR, CR, AR, FG, MD, HMG, SR or any other sidearm as a support weapon, doesn't really matter it is a melee weapon. Without a dash option we really won't see any abuse out of this, its a 4-6ft electrified polearm essentially in an age of rapid fire projectile weapons. What's the worst that could happen? Some dev putting in the ability to block a stream of bullets by spinning the blade around to block them in a shield pattern? Come on. *DJINN Jecture speaks for herself, a Closed Beta Vet, still playing Eve and Dust*

As someone who has been through enough martial arts training to get an idea of what is possible with a sword or even a knife I see the current implementation of Nova Knives as a bit of a joke on us, we wanted some and got some but that was the end of it 2 movement options for its use. I would hate to see this implemented in the same dumbass way that Nova Knives were done, hell even UbiSoft can come up with variations of moves for a blade (see Warframe) and Battlefield even has a few options as well. *DJINN Jecture speaks for herself, a Closed Beta Vet, still playing Eve and Dust*

As for the rest, using the blade should create a fluid striking state, as when using a blade in real life, swordplay is very much akin to dancing moving from one striking stance to the next and not at all like regular gunplay where you are aiming, firing reloading so to think of it in that manner would severely cripple the user. See my above posts about combat with Nova Knives etc. The desire to see Nova Swords in game has been present for quite awhile, the mechanics you are thinking of are way too linear for the Sword to be useful in any way and would rather be a hah I killed you with the 2nd worst weapon in game factor for trolling people, the first being Nova Knives. *DJINN Jecture speaks for herself, a Closed Beta Vet, still playing Eve and Dust*

CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 0	Posted - 2015.07.19 22:33:00 - [11] - Quote Personally, I like the idea, and after reading all the comments currently on the page I'd like to add i my own input. I'll speak from my own experiences realistically, and through the usage of the Nova Knives in-game. First of all, whether the blade is a Light or Sidearm weapon is unimportant. This is because the weapon is close range only, and therefore easily countered at range. However, I would recommend coming to consensus on the type of weapon it's based on in regards to shape. (My personal recommendation is a Japanese Zatoichi, since it's not overly long and matches the style of the Nova Knives) Secondly, in regards to function, how about how an actual blade is used. The methods are relatively simple, not overtly flashy, and effective. A standard two-handed approach is a must, considering that a one-handed approach gives rise to the misconception that a sword in one hand and a gun in the other is "effective"... Length: This is the most important factor when taking into account the amount of damage dealt and the speed at which you can swing. (Two yard sticks placed one on top of the other is unacceptable) Damage: B:160 A:200 P:220 (-,40,20) Only my opinion, I can't really speculate on any of the technical information. Speed: You can't have a sword that swings as fast as bullet is fired, regardless of what Hollywood says, it's not possible. In-game, you'll have to make it substantially slower than the Nova Knives, especially since the knives don't actually swing. They actually use quick thrusts, and yes, that makes a difference. Next, I'd like to say that the weapon should NOT* be able to charge up. In regards to features, I'll leave it up to whomever. Charging is a no-no, though perhaps a short dash could occur, like in Kendo. A short 2-3 Ft. dash will hardly make this weapon overpowered, particularly against other CQC weapons like shotguns which have shot me anywhere from 8-10 ft. away. Lastly, even though the method of a 'quick-draw' has been vastly over-hyped, it is humanely possible to pull a blade from it's scabbard in mere moments. So perhaps that could be the mechanism in which the blade is used. Allow me to explain: I saw an anime that had an exceptional idea (Bleach, I think), that is, using the scabbard as a source of kinetic propulsion strong enough to launch the blade forward and through the target. If you want to make it fair, use that. Require the blade be 'quick-drawn'. The player taps the bumper and the blade launches forward in a quick and devastating slash, however, the blade is re-sheathed and has short time as it rebuilds it's energy before in can be used again. (It's an idea to consider, at the least.) Engulfed in darkness and set ablaze, the light will never permeate your intangible cage. -Crow & Cardinal

(It's an idea to consider, at the least.) if we make it slower than novas, then the DPS is a joke. close range weapons should always have the highest DPS. current basic nova is 120 PER STRIKE. landing 2 strikes is already 240 damage, more than a single, slower hit of the protos. I'd suggest something along the lines of 200,350,425 if we're going with slow strikes. If we imagine that the nova sword is less of a broadsword and more of a katana, our stikes will be quicker, and your damagge profile makes sense There is a reason you never see me in battle. it's because I see you first.
CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 1	Posted - 2015.07.20 01:25:00 - [13] - Quote Ah, but you surely have an idea of how swinging the blade relates to the weight, length, and balance of the blade (Realistically). You may feel that realistic components have no place in the game world, but even so, the Novas don't actually 'swing'; Instead of swinging the blades your character thrusts, and thrusts are much faster than slashes. When you look at it from even a gameplay standard, the sword is longer, and definitely heavier, so you would need to make it a bit slower. I'm not saying you're waiting an entire five seconds to swing, but compared to a knife, an extra second or two is borderline.

I was talking to GM archduke one day and he said that the nova knives can't cut anything by themselvs. He said that the knives invoke a gravity field, pulling the victim toward the blade. If this is true, then your slashes can be much faster, because newton's third law (if you're pullled toward the blade, the blade is also pulled toward you) There is a reason you never see me in battle. it's because I see you first.
CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 2	Posted - 2015.07.20 18:10:00 - [16] - Quote Wait... what? Hold up, the 'knives' can't cut? And they utilize gravity fields? And Newton's Third only tells a single step the grand scheme of that whole, "Everything except your enemy is immune to magnetism" plan. So realistically, you will be pulled into the blade too, and since you're closer... If the knives can't cut anything by themselves, they're pretty much useless. The Nova Knives have an edge, and that edge is supper-heated to allow it to penetrate tougher materials. So one can speculate that they are able to cut without being charged, and the ability to charge is only to increase cutting ability. However, super-heating the blade means a clean death since the wound is caurterized upon contact. Now, if the Knife is able to do that much... how the hell did they fit in a way to magnetize the entire blade as well as create enough magnetization to pull in the enemy and not the user, or anything around them...? And just magnetizing the enemy to your blade is not good enough, the items are only pulled towards each other. You have to be able to move the weapon and make the thrust, which if the force is pulling towards your enemy, you can't do.

GM's say a lot of stuff that isn't based on anything other than an explanation someone gave them, it seems "charging a nova knife" has changed in what it actually does science wise and while a GM may be discussing how the functional Dust science works, there is a lot of room for interpretation and changes based on what new weapons and physics they decide to implement. Hot butter knives are OP and would cut shields not a problem, that's why CCP has yet to make anything resembling one. *DJINN Jecture speaks for herself, a Closed Beta Vet, still playing Eve and Dust*
CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 3	Posted - 2015.07.21 20:42:00 - [19] - Quote Firstly, thank you DJINN, for explaining that everyone's interpretations are often based on what they do or do not know. Secondly, to Emm Kay, I'm not denying what the Developers have told you. I personally have never talked to one about the subject and therefore can only speak from my own point of view. From what I know of Dust, many of it's universe's physics are the exact same as ours, so I speculate that their technological advancements can be explained clearly through scientific information that we already know. At least that way it's not, "These things pull you towards them and rip you to shreds while the user is perfectly fine, because... Go with it." If we could get a more recent explaination as to why the Nova Knives work, that would be great. But until then, my answer is, yes, a hot butter knife will slice through those shields just as effectively as an object shot at a speed somewhere above sound or even light. Why do I think so? Railguns, that's why. Engulfed in darkness and set ablaze, the light will never permeate your intangible cage. -Crow & Cardinal

But I'm not sure if this is enough, that and we may need to adjust course. I'd go into details of what I had in mind but I might as well start a new thread for that. But I'll tell you this, a sword doesn't have to be long or far reaching to be an effective weapon.

You have to be able to move the weapon and make the thrust, which if the force is pulling towards your enemy, you can't do. It does pull the user, you'll notice that as the user swings their blade, their field of view is draggged toward the knives as you swing with them. 2nd thing. Imagine youre suspended on a rope, facing down. you have a very heavy knife. for explanations sake, the knife weighs 10Kg. There is also a very light knife, wieghing in at 1.5Kg. Both of these knives have the exact same spatial dimensions, simply a different ddensity. Below you, there is a melon. This melon mimics human flesh. The knives represent the nova knives vs regular knives. By a law, you're going to have more kinetic energy in the big knife, and as a result you'll be able to do more damage. The small knife, on the otherhand, may be easier to weild, but you'll never be able to put in as much energy as the big knife.

CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 8	Posted - 2015.07.22 23:52:00 - [28] - Quote I think that the Shinken and Miaodao are my votes from that list, I also recommend a Zatoichi (No Link). I think it would be best to go with a blade that is in line with the current style of bladed weaponry, unless this new melee weapon is for a different race. In which case, the Falcata is Minmatar. One would think that the Amarr would have a blade similar to the Backsword or the Miaodao, but they seem too refined, and influenced by the Romans in many ways, therefore probably adopted an Estoc, or other type of Masonic sword. Hmm, Galente would be... I'll get back to you on that one. Caldari are most likely to have a Japanese blade.

Starting with length, the average sword length is 2 1/3 feet (0.7m) considering nova knives have a 1.5m range at around .38m in length, we can assume your arm is 1.12 m? that's ludicrous. but for the sake of consistency, we'll set the range at 1.85m. all is good?

The Kopis and Kukiri represent more aesthetically true examples of what I imagine the Amarr would employ as weapons, especially because blades in the modern New Eden are essentially redundant assets. Hell even looking at the Falcata design the weapon almost looks too elegant and curved to be of Matari make. Em shah tey et naGÇÖemsaer ek rahvi, amarr osedah gasi ubday pahk. Ekin tey vahka ijed div ema ziel. Et tey vamatal em.
CROW and Cardinal SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS 9	Posted - 2015.07.23 05:41:00 - [34] - Quote That is quite true. I could definitely see the Amarr with a blade like that, though the redundancy of blades isn't as prominent as you might think. This is because, from a realistic aspect, many deals and negotiations would be carried out in person... A blade of some sort is easier to conceal at these times. The sword is also a reliable weapon on the battlefield due to it's ability to perform silent kills, making it perfect for Amarrian scouts... Engulfed in darkness and set ablaze, the light will never permeate your intangible cage. -Crow & Cardinal
