Melee Combat

[Powercrisis]

Are we going to get the cheesy hand-to-hand fighting thats always for some reason taught to Starfleet officers? I hope so, I want to crack a Klingon skull with my two-handed punch/swing move (you know the one)...

Well aslong as it's nothing like Pirates of the Burning Sea type melee (I was so hyped about that game) :(
Although we are talking about lazer's and stuff, so :)

I'm seriously hoping that melee is twitch based 3rd person. And I don't want to see numbers appear over the heads of the guys I'm shooting. If I hit someone with a phaser, they should go down. Unless they're Borg, then it might take a couple of shots, lol.

Play GTA IV lateley? :)

I hope its like that too, i'm not really sure how phaser fights are gonna work, those things always looked pretty deadly unless it was convenient for a particular character who got shot to live.

anyone ever try a game called Savage and it's sequel? It was an FPS/RTS game in 3rd or 1st person, where melee was the primary method of attack. There was a block, attack, and block break function. Sorta like rock paper scissors. And it was "twitch" based.

While that would be cool to see, considering I've only seen it work for 32 players max at a time, I don't know how well it would work with a battalion of klingons assaulting a fed starship with a few hundred marines and starfleet personnel, or on a planet surface.

Melee will probably be a target lock/attack type interface, with hit chances calculated by computer and damage based on the item you are using, rather than your skill in being able to successfully hit a target.

I can't wait to unleash my super secret Captain's Kick. Only taught to Captains.
