Lunge

Any chance that we can get a new animation for this power?

It's a great power...but the dropkick animation leaves something to be desired. (for me at least)

A lunging punch would be great.

    Nooo! You can't change it - it's a classic :D

    (although I'll admit it does look pretty comical)

    And this rules :D

    Hahaha...it looks like they took the animation from that exact clip.

    You cant change the lunge! Its Kirk-tastic!

    That animation is farely new. After launch and up till S2 or 3, the animation was another, but I forgot what it was already.

    Wasn't it something more like the Caitian leap?

    The old lunge was just a straight run up and single punch. The drop-kick is way better. Although, I do miss the disintegration animation when lunging an exposed target.

    Yeah, when they update things that have no *mechanical* effects, they should make it an option instead, and make the default whatever they're were going to perma change it too.

    There is nothing more satisfying than ordering my Klingon BOFF to lunge kick an enemy! He is a ninja in those few seconds!
    No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    Power customization would be cool. I wonder if they can do it, though? I know CO has color customizations, but what about animations? And would it be worth the few powers that would get it?

    God, that was weird. "My puches are so powerful, I vaporized you!"

    Man...a punch animation is exactly what I want...can't believe they would change that.

    ...and how is a dropkick in the middle of combat while being shot at...better than a punch?

    To each their own I guess...but a punch is far more practical than a dropkick that would actually leave you open for gunfire while you're laying on the ground afterward.

    Anyways...the option to choose between the two would be great.

    If you want to punch so baddly, then why don't you just remove one of the guns you have equipped? :rolleyes:

    I dunno about you, but I find something hilarious about being oneshot by a Gorn Tactical officer who superbuffed his lunge in PvP. I love the animation.
