I'm not asking for "Commando teleport" or "spartan's magentic charge" but you think you can increase the range while using nova knifes just a little longer than normal melee? Even 3-6 inches (length of the blades) would help tremendously (Knives can reach further than your elbow/fist naturally). Its annoying enough walking towards someone at the same speed they are back pedaling while reloading. You can't charge while sprinting and graphic-wise you know your close enough(if you were acutally there) so you release the charge yet you don't get the hit.
Nova knives are fun to play with, and I love the idea, but if im going to dump as SP into it over AR, might as well make it worth investing in.
Granted the double attack is nice but to my knowledge its "Melee*basic melee mods + NK damage*NK mods" so you'll have to invest in both to really make it work nicely, which most people would rather have a nice AR or SMG instead.
Also, because the NK skillbook is in handheld weapons, and can be placed in the Light weapon slot or secondary. Anyone know if skills such as lightweapon X/ secondary X affect Nova Knives? If so, then let us know and disreguard the range issue but I still have a few suggestions to make NKs more appealing to use.
My suggestions are as follows:
Increase the NK range slightly (or say that they are affected by skillbook mods).
Add a Dropsuit biotic or stat to NK that increases Movement speed. (Many older games had it so you run faster with knife out.)
Include a even slight range increase for Myofibril stimlants (so not only will the damage increase, but so will the range)
-This will encourage more melee fighting should both parties run out of ammo
Better Knives would improve on these stats, my examples would be below: (note, every stat changes the same except damage to balance the changes)
Nova Knives:
CPU: 20 PG: 3
DMG: 160, Charge Time: 1.7s
Meta lv: 2
Movement Speed: +3%
Range: Melee +3%
ZN-28 NK
CPU: 37 PG: 6
DMG: 180, Charge Time: 1.2s
Meta lv: 5
Movement Speed: +6%
Range: Melee +6%
Ishukone NK
CPU: 62 PG: 9
DMG: 195, Charge Time: .7s
Meta lv: 8
Movement Speed: +9%
Range: Melee +9%
Hope this idea goes through! So far, great game, Keep it up!
