The angle in which you can attack has increased. They no longer need to be exactly in front on order to hit them.

Not what I am saying. I am saying that I am constantly going around the map and end up chasing some guy. I think I am finally close enough to hit 'em, I swing hit nothing but air and I get shot in the face by a backward running assault because they here,mr miss the swing. I have done it though, usually it is pure luck after mashing the button. We need to stop having to stop and pause before swinging. I can still go positive more often than not, though, it feels like it is way more luck based than skill based. I.E. I get at least 1-2 kills a game by mashing the R1 button when I get behind a group. There needs to be away to hit people you are chasing down, without having to wait for them to slowdon/stop.

I am using the Minmatar scoit scout with a kinetic catalyzer and Ishukone Nova Knives.

Novas would be OP if we could sprint with them charged. They're pretty much perfect as they are.

If they have their backs to me 50/50 chance, if they are facing me 25/75 chance; when they see me jump it is,easy for them to change direction. Good trick, though, far from being a true solution.

Novas would be OP if we could sprint with them charged. They're pretty much perfect as they are. Did I ever say I wanted to charge up while sprinting? I'll answer that one; no I didn't. I know it would be OP, so I am equally against it. On that note, I feel that we should have an increase in speed while attacking. Now here me out. Currently even if you just tap the R1 button, you still go into a walking pace WHILE attacking. I feel we should maintain our running speed while attackin, BUT AFTERWARDS, we go to a walking pace. Another idea would be to give us the same aim assist while knifing as we get with the regular R3 melee.

Then maybe with a complex sidearm modifier. I imagine they'd be one hit killing even some of the beefier enemies. If nova knives are effected by your drop suits base melee power then not as much damage as a heavy. The melee bonus does not affect the knife charge up swing, only the R3 swing.
