I think that when we get the other knives, one should be a sword. Probably the Amarr one. Partially because of how it looks, and partially because amarr are too slow to get into knife range.

I honestly down think it needs any more range then it has. It's a stealth weapon which means you don't rush at somebody like a madman unless your a scout vs a heavy because then you know you can run circles around him. Use it like it's suppose to be used such as assassinations on people hacking or snipers you sneak up on.

I can definitely see the Amarr having a sword. You know, them Amarr being a bunch of religious Catholics and all.

that's what makes me hope the Amarr will have a mace. a big glowing gold-plated mace.

They released concept art of it. Can't find it atm, but the amarr knife currently looks like a dagger, rather than your usual combat knife.

Simple fix charge an dash skill after proficiency five of .5 of a second per level.

@Ozarow



Doesn't sound so bad. In fact, it seems balanced. Even at level 5 the most anyone would charge/dash is 2.5 seconds which to a highly skilled knifer is more than enough to close the distance.

One of the reasons I was against the sprint charge is the possibility of making the knives overpowered and thus bring about the drunk nerf hammer. But I didn't think about a limited sprint feature like you described. Sounds more like a lunge but I think it's doable and it doesn't border on "overpowered".

I'm down to knife with any of you fools. Ozarow? Maybe join Scouts United channel to be with other scouts.

I do surgery on the enemys' throats with no anaesthetic, I'm no doctor either.

Even better. BALISTIC Nova Swords the size of Final Fantasy Swords. And make it shoot lazzors while airborn and of cours insta kill the target

pls be realistic

I spent quite a while running around on an alt with an advanced nova knife and minnie scout suit.

The knife as an equippable option was a great idea and welcome addition to the game. The main issue is in actually being able to use it without being killed.

Between the unresponsive controls, lag issues, and hit registration landing a hit on anything besides a stationary target is extremely difficult. Even using the fastest suits in the game, the weapon cannot be used while sprinting so even when attacking a slower target in front of you the attack tends to miss because it is essentially impossible to keep your character literally touching another moving target.

Second is the issue of FOV. A target actively avoiding you can easily side step attacks or move to your side right off your screen. This would not be such a problem if you did not have to be literally touching the player in order to hit them.

I feel that making the nova knife into more of a sword and giving a bit of an arc of attack as well as slightly increased range would do a great deal to help making it a viable weapon, worthy of the immense planning and effort involved in reaching melee range to begin with.
