Well, the BE utilizes nanotechnologie, so they could have enhanced strength, too. But in the end muscular strength isn't exactly the deciding factor, the question how effective your melee weapon is, and where you hit. Judging from the bulky BE weapons, they would do more dmg but should have a lower hitrate. Btw. .. slapping an armored soldier isn't exactly effective anyways (you would want to use a knife). Hmm .. sounds like a nice feature .. Gren and Rifleman should be almost invulnerable against blunt weapons.
I can hear the noobs now, 'omfg hax, ban him admin. wait, dont ban me, fuck you! your all haxzors! im going back to css cus u all suck'
yeah, instakill with that thing would be very cool. it wouldn't be too bugged either. it should be slow though. like the pigstick in Hiddenource, it would have a 1 second build up time and a 3 second recovery.
Maybe make it so that its a running melee, where you need about 2 sec to get up to speed, then you can only move straight. Kind of like a sword lunge.
I'm all for power suits, just as long as they fit. Hell, theres nano tech, and bio augmentation, so they must know how to make them.
I made a Melee Combat thread, feel free to discuss there. I'm not a moderator.. but my thread feels lonely. http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?p=54363#post54363
Awesome prop! I also like that it tells the sector designation on the minimap; it's a pain in the butt for me to remember which square is which.
hah nice one But if I oculd comment on that, it looks very cartoony, it would help if you would saturate the colours a bit.
