Fleet Melee Weapons?

captpeacemakercaptpeacemaker Member Posts: 230 Arc User
So my fleet recently unlocked Adv Fleet Ground Items and I was disappointed that the Adv Melee only has 2 options.

A Lirpa, and another Lirpa. Given the time and resources required to unlock, and considering these are supposed to be top level items, shouldn't we have a little more variety of what we can purchase from our starbase?

I think at the fleet level, all melee weapons should be available for purchase. I prefer my Nausicaan sword, not everyone likes a Lirpa.

While we are on the subject of weapons, it would be nice if they made the hybrid weapons available at the Fleet level too, minus one modifier. I would love to get my hands on a Fleet Level Phased Tetryon, both ground and space.

    I know, it sucks, right? The Elite fleet melee weapons are even more disappointing.

    I think you should have a wide variety of weapons, such as Rapiers, Dual Sais, Broadswords, Battle Axes, Killij, a crowbar, Chain Swords, Powerfists, Gorechild, Rebellion, Red Queen...

    Don't worry .
    If it helps , one of them is probably broken in some way and the other mislabeled . ;)

    I want a Elite and Advanced versions of the Nausican Blade, I have a few toons using these as part of their costume.

    I have one of those on most of my characters for that purpose exactly.

    Ideally, I'd want a traditional ceremonial saber for my Feds instead, but that's unlikely to happen.

    You don't like the Elite Vulcan Cotton Swab? :eek:

    I think an Advanced Klingon's Banana Blade should be available to Feds. :rolleyes:

    This. Having mek'leth and qut'luch/kut'luch models in-game would be nice. Especially the mek'leth, that's a nifty looking weapon.

    Elite Fleet Melee Weapons should be Baseball Bats. :D How epic would it be to take out the borg with baseball bats? :D

    It's more that they'd have to pay an artist to create animations for various attacks and combos with a weapon of that type, and they've been too cheap to do it.

    Notice that Bat'leth and Lirpa use the same animations- they're the same weapon. And the three playable swords- Nausicaan, Tsunkatse, Tholian- are likewise just art swaps of each other. But a Mek'leth couldn't be an art swap, and there isn't enough profit in it for PWE or Cryptic.

    I was hoping they'd actually make new sword styles for Neverwinter and port the animations back to STO, but so far, nothing.
