Why dont MAXs have a melee weapon?

[Aegis]

You'd think the big fists of the VS and NC ones would be of some use at least, the TR could hit them with the gun barrels.

well probably lag and the amount of code is to blame here. but thats what they all say, so we'll just blame it on SOE's crappy customer support and other stuff

[00AgentDuck]

yeah I was thinking about that, a max with a melee weapon would be awesome, like a giant sword specific to they're empire such as a beam sword for VS.

[Aegis]

Might get sued by Lucasarts if they did that tho'

[HawkEye]

why the hell wuold you want a melee weapon? you wuold probaly never use it.

[Aegis]

I never use the knife, but its nice to have in case i do run out of ammo completely.

No, because PSO uses beam type weapons that all look like lightsabres lol, but yea I think a beam type weapon for them would be sweet.

May be good on the Pounder's side. Killing infiltrators is a pain seeing as they run really close to you, forcing you to do some minor damage to yourself.

Screw the beam, just punch em! I think a hydraulicly-augmented 2" Titanium Punch would do some damage. And yes, they are hydraulically (or pneumatically powered). Listen while you walk

[NCG JMan]

Punch 'em.....LMAO.....good one. I like it!

[Happy lil Elf]

VS-Beam Sword
NC-Big fist o doom
TR-I dunno, put blades/spikes on the outside of the barrels?

[00AgentDuck]

Yeah I was thinking the vs would have a beam melee weapon NC would have a pounding blunt one and tr would have somehitn like the chainblade or spikes but I'm just restating what Happy lil' Elf said

[Eliaas_Demens]

I think a suicide weapon would be cooler. Out of ammo? Got 30 armor left? Hit the self detonation command and wipe out the room.

"Why dont MAXs have a melee weapon?"

Because they have big guns.

[Indecisive]

VS: lightsaber
NC: fists
TR: Dual mace? (no not can-o-mace smartass)
