There are scout suits focused on hand to hand combat, but.... there is only ONE melee weapon. The nova knives are cool, but honestly, some new additions to the melee family could be useful. What about a nice hammer or even a longer two handed blade. |

I believe that it means the melee attack. As in using you're elbow to smash someone's face in.  |

actually scout suits are not focus on hand to hand combat. the only scout suit that is, is the b series with 285 damage. while i'll agree more weapons would be nice its not something to get about lightly. |

i'm guessing he's talking about the new minmatar scout suit that seems to be hand-to-hand combat oriented. |

Minmatar scout suits will get super-cutting swords that will grow to a length of 10 meters when activated. |

More like a rusty plate from a rifter dipped in turpentine...
Before anyone flames me for Minmatar jokes, I've been a Minmatar character for 5 years. The rust is for trolling Amarr. |

Yes! Lightsabers, gravity hammers, ballistic knifes, throwing axe, last but not least gas powered grappling hooks for hard to reach people/places.

Dumbest idea ever when I read it. They should have ported the Hack Speed bonus from the Logistics over to the Scout and given the Minmatar Logistics something useful to their role as... Oh, I dunno - LOGISTICS?!
I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy and just not seeing things but how often do you see:

Would have thought the minmatar melee weapon would be some kind of wrist/arm mounted pile-bunker(basically, a hydraulic spike) or something like the old ww2 knuckle guns(mount a shotgun on your wrist with the trigger mechanism being a pressure plate on the knuckles. Yes, it went exactly as well as that sounds) |

I'd love to see a melee CQC option. Like maybe if you get nova knives, pistols and hand to hand to level five you get a combo option. |

I play a nova knife scout with melee boosts and profile dampeners. Melee definitely needs a little love. I just killed a guy with an assault rifle using a knife, wtf am i only getting 50 points? i would love to see something like killzone 3 melee attacks. A rush knife attack would be great too. I get caught a lot sneaking up on somebody and basically get blasted away cause i cant close the distance quick enough. Different melee weapons would be cool too. I have the most fun playing a melee ninja compared to any other loadouts. ****, I've killed even heavies with melee. It's a hardcore rush |

I can't remember what its called but there is a weapon the Minmatar like to use as a axe/hammer that is actually an Amarrian religious symbol kinda like a cross, it would seem fitting for it to make an appearance. |

What Nova Knives really need is some semblance of auto-aim... When you have to get so close that they can just strafe out of your Field of View it gets real difficult trying to hit moving targets. |

Put a little rust on one of these babies, and I might consider speccing into scout:

Add a bayonet skill that replaces the elbow of destruction with a bayonet jab or something similar. AR with an under the barrel nova knife.

Sure they could put those in there, BUT
Obviously melee atm, is terrible. If they tried to put in say a hammer, it would either be A: Suckish or B: Overpowered. There is almost no way to make a melee weapon players would use that wasn't overpowered, because it would be too hard to use and they would be all "wahhhh my hammer doesn't one hit heavies i want my gun back" |

I just don't get the whole melee thing....
1.) Why does one of the lightest suits in the game (scout B) get a massive bonus to melee damage? Where is this damage coming from?
2.) Why is melee even somewhat effective at all? I wouldn't roll up to iron man and try to elbow smash him..... Isn't this the future? Isn't this high technology? Really, we can take a sniper rail gun shot but melee does 130+ damage....? okay....
Melee is just stupid to me right now.
If I had batman spikes on my forearm and they were nova blades, now that I could understand. WTF is up with an elbow smash even denting a dropsuit.

I have a problem with this. When it comes to melee damage, you would think heavies deal the most damage with melee with all that heavy armor and excess belly fat. |

It's explained in the description of the dropsuit. |

Sometimes you see those from me because my mass driver ran out of ammo, again, and I have to beat people to death with it. That happened three times last night which is three times more than I'm comfortable with.
Click, click, click, elbow smash!

It's apparently going suit-based in uprising. 110 for scouts, ? for assaults and 120 for heavies. Or something along those lines. I'd have to look in my IRC logs but I took the hard drive that has those logs out of my laptop and replaced it with a fresh one for fanfest :P
But as to what people said above :
Melee is actually pretty OP when you skill up to it. It's definitely a niche thing and using it as a primary more gets you points for style than for practically.
Having said that : I will quit dust forever if they add swords. Flat out, unconditionally quit dust. No joke. |

Random thought. I wonder if certain types of weapons will fail to operate inside of the new shield generators and melee will become important. |

Really? I need your help here then because I don't see it. I'm checking the marketplace and looking at the dropsuit description for the scout.... it mentions servos for enhanced speed and flexibility.
Still though, it would take a pretty awesome write up for me to think it's cool that a melee strike does more damage than the projectiles from most weapons..... |
