No, no, and NO. Did I mention no? EMP is the gayest thing a mod ever came up with.

The additional plus which could be the single use for a melee weapon that the lance had was the ability to screw all air vehicles with one hit (flip them, whatever, it just basically crashes it unless its really high or a good pilot). It took a bit more skill because at the speeds the vehicles were going it would be a little more difficult predicting where the vehicle would be. One shocklance couldn't kill a shrike or bomber(shields), but it could severely **** it up and was a slight counter against vehicles.

Each 'reload' has a 1 second cool time for the weapon reloading.
Plasma Modification: Shots to the ground/wall with the plasma will allow you to wall-climb like in Quake 3.
Perhaps a plasma which fires faster, and takes off less (although I love the T1 plasma as is, apart from against heavies).

I'd still like to see a Duke's Mighty Foot-style melee kick attack.

Think of the possibilities:

- Comes standard-issue with the armor, it's got crappy range and not-so-hot damage, but it doesn't take up a weapon slot and can be used to increase the effectiveness of weapons and conserve ammo.
- Could be used in the air, on the ground, underwater, anywhere
- The different armors would have different kicks...light armor kick comes out fast and can be repeated quickly, but does little damage, heavy armor has a big-ass kick that hurts like hell but comes out slow and can't be used as quickly, and medium armor, as always, strikes a balance between the two.
- The kicks could be used to set up for a weapon strike...kick the enemy capper, which stops him dead and stuns him for about a second and a half, and nail him in the head with your weapon of choice. (Maybe somebody could script a fighting-game-style hit counter for kick/weapon combos... )

How about a big-ass bat that knocks people down. Very little damage, but absolutely knocks you flat on your ass for a second. Then you could get a group of people around somebody and just beat the tar out of them for a long time and keep dropping them like a sack of *#$% every time they got up. Call it the "Whats-a-matta-fa-you Bat".

Those would cost too much to render. To save money they'll have to take mutated sea bass from Dynamix's earlier fishing titles and use those in the water.

I think there should be "Nerdy" Tribesmen who watch tons of anime and try to dress as their favorite characters, like Gohan! He'd charge for 24 minutes of the match, and have that last minute to save the world.. which of course he will delay for 5 or so matches before doing so.

Okay. So how about this melee weapon works like this: hit the head from behind and it takes away like 90% of a light's health, but hit it anywhere else and it's more of a 3-hit weapon as originally suggested.

I'm just saying, even with future innovation in strategies, I don't expect anyone with a jetpack to let another player hit them three times up close with a stick.

"the ugly stick"

no matter how you balance your shocklance idea, it'll be flawed mst3k
people will always get better, and a year down the line it could become a really unbalanced weapon which is far too easy to use (look at how easy shocklancing people in the back is)

Uh-huh, blow me. I wasn't talking about the fags that ctrl + k'd on heavies using a detpack, it had strategic value and any good team didn't let it explode in front of their faces while they were on invs. How far fetched is a frickin timed bomb hundreds of years in the future?

This arguement holds no water (in any discussion of Tribes) as we're making a game not a technicaly realistic projection of the future. We're talking jetpacks and laser beams here, reality doesn't really count.

I was saying that more in defense of the comment the moron above me made, but we're all kind of throwing out ideas here. Simply saying, in some ways, Renegades was practical with the ideas it came out with (a rifle that fired bullets, timed explosives, shrikes with missiles, dumbfiring, etc.), but was also horribly under-developed with the gameplay and fairness issues. A one-shot weapon that could kill you from 1000m with full health was ridiculous, and the Borg armor/Vulcan made the game pointless. Anyway, I'd like to see more of that practical gameplay but on a balanced scale.
