I think many people are not grasping what I am saying. A swipe of the knives does no damage. A "charged swipe" would. It is a plasma cutter at that point, not a knife.

The knife radiates energy and thus is non directional, meaning it can't get through the tankers armor no matter how many swipes because you are limited by the knifes limited blade length. A tank with small pockets in it (not fully piercing the armor) would still be structurally sound.

Also the knife is not like a plasma cutter because of the lack of directional energy, meaning the pressure still comes from the force exerted by the arm, meaning any substantially thick steel matter would require a long physical press to even get through something.

This talk about plasma, energy, etc makes me think of a random idea to bounce off you guys.

What if charged nova knives emitted an energy wave from the swipes that gives them slightly extended range when charged, to deal with backpedallers?

Even if the knives were to pierce tank armor, the damage inflicted would be inconsequential when compared to the entirety of the machine. It would be like stabbing a drop suit with a needle. Unless we got an alternative knife, that were specifically engineered to attack vehicles rather than dropsuits. Imagine, if you will: the AV knife. Aka, "the anti-repair-tool" Suddenly, a dual-knife fit has a purpose to it. A really bizzare, twisted one only a luuudicrous level masochist would ever use... but still. A purpose

A purpose Funnily enough, an AV melee weapon was alluded to by one of the Dev's. Can't remember the post, but it was in reference to the Amarr version of the Nova Knife. Could have been a throw away line, but then again, maybe not...

Good board games Game night with the family often went to the Game of Life. Monopoly always ended in a fight lol Pokemon.... musta been too old we never played it. Magic the gathering on the other hand. And yes i was the best DM at AD&D My first computer was a Commodore 64 and it was AMAZING. I was at PAXEast last year, CCP had a setup to play DUST, chromosome build, with a few proto level toons. Pfft, I had DUST at home. I ended up in the board game section playing 7 Wonders and Ticket to Ride all day. Both worth a trial run, especially 7 Wonders. If you like tabletop RPGs too, try Fiasco You can play out your own Coen Brothers movie in about 3 hours. I'm late to the forums on this post (I had like 17 new pages of this thread to read from over the weekend) However, 7 wonders was pretty fun. Though once you get the hang of it all the strategies seem to boil down to one. We have a local board game bar where I live. Lots of decent beer with 1000's of board games, what could go wrong? Lots. Friendships have been broken. My girlfriend and I didn't talk to each other for a week (kinda akward when you live together) after the last time we tried to play clue. Don't even get me started on "The Resistance". Similar game to mafia, based entirely on ferreting out the people who are dealt the spy cards and which missions were failed and with which people. Almost got kicked out of the place for have a massive "argument" (screaming may have been involved, it was intense to watch). Currently sticking to funny card games like Cards against Humanity or apples to apples.....

Ivan Avogadro Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 693	Posted - 2014.02.03 17:15:00 - [9401] - Quote I loooooove Resistance. I once fixed a game so that everyone except my Sister-in-Law was a spy. We spent the whole time feeding on whatever suspicions she had. The on the last round, one of the spies (not my wife) played a safe card. Everyone else wanted all three to come back as sabotage, how could she not see the humor potential staring her right in the face??? Anyway, sister-in-law was pissed and refuses to play Resistance with me ever again. I still think it was the best game I ever played.

High School can be the most fun thing of your life. I just graduated last year, and I still miss a lot of the things I did in high school (football, weights, band, the games etc.). Don't let the opportunity pass by, if you want to even try something GO FOR IT. I joined the football team to spite a friend who said I couldn't do it (I also wanted to try it myself to see if I could) F--K him, I did it for 4 years straight, and I freaking loved it. Music has stayed with me my whole life, because of how much fun I had in marching band (I miss it every day, and I hear the college band play on a daily basis) High School goes by fast. Cherish it. I really felt like writing this after coming back from classes today. Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.
