I'm not sure if this would be balanced when it comes to slot layouts. The knives use to come standard during the replication-E3 builds in closed beta, but CCP decided to not make them standard anymore and figured it would be ok to make them separate side arm weapons like the SMG or Pistols. Besides, they are not technically simple. Just like the rest of the weapons, they are complex by technological design by virtue of the fact that they utilize a charge to pierce through heavy armor and take up CPU and PG at the same time. If they were simple weapons, they would just be pieces of cheap metal with plastic handles and don't do much damage compared to the nova knives. |

Yes, but with new varieties coming out, this would mean everyone would have different melee attacks.
They are not melee weapons at all according to the tranquility inventory system. As far as the server is concerned, they are sidearms. But yeah, new variations will come out one day and it would be interesting to see how the animation looks for each one. |
