Bat'leth is way too big

Bat'leths are waaaaaay too large in the game. Just watch this and you'll see what I mean.

(It repeats the same thing twice, so you can stop halfway through unless you want to see the epicness unfold again)

Traditional bat'leths are 116 centimeters in length. I estimate our current ones to be at least 1 1/2 times the size of a standard bat'leth. In one KDF mission, an elder Klingon even states that bat'leth duels have rules pertaining to the length of one's weapon; if memory serves, it is 114-120 centimeters, still smaller than our blades.



Also, Duras' sword from the above video might be nice... Jus' sayin'. Although I'd rather have a d'k tagh first. Perhaps Klingons can equip a third weapon to cycle through, which would be a d'k tagh by default. It would be mainly for RP purposes, of course, but perhaps it could have some advantage, when used skillfully.

    I wish they'd just give us a slider for weapon size, so we could make our weapon better fit our character models.

    Yeah, either that or make it autoscale to the main height slider.

    This game has a huge problem with scaling in general. Weapons inflate according to their "rank" to ridiculous sizes.
