Good Evening everyone
This post is mainly directed to the DEVs, and its about implementing a weapon in the combat Revamp, the "Echani Foil".
Echani is the martial art used by the elite imperials guards. It is a very deadly and effective martial art, and it was focused on the "Echani Foil".
This weapon has a really nice looking, and could be implemented in the combat revamp for a new pikeman weapon.
From its looking, it looks like a pretty fast and damaging weapon, and if we had to compare it with the current speed and damage mods in the game, it should be like a 4.0 / 4.5 speed and 390 - 420 damage range. Just above the Long Vibro Axe. Certification would be gotten at the master level because of its deadliness, and because of this same reason maybe also bee a loot schematic from a high end mob.
Implementing it should not be a problem. It is not very complicated looking and there are no copyrights problems because it was already in KOTOR.
It would really be a VERY VERY [...] VERY nice presents for us pikemens.
Thanks for taking the time to read my message, and sorry for my english, i've done my best but there may be some spelling or grammar mistakes.
Yours sincerely , stefano

actually echani weapons were mainly made witha crotosive weave to aid fighting lightsaber wielding opponents. there were various forms ranging from vibro blade like types to the pikes you're referring to. Instead of adding another new weapon (though pike could use alittle love) add a loot drop that would function as crotosive weave and when is the active weapon could reduce dmg from a lightsaber. it could be a power-up with xxxx number of uses, enough to make it worthwhile yet not make it too strong. glad someone else realized this part of SW lore.

yes is true, this weapon was immune to lightsaber, but making it the same in the game would make too many people go pikeman and would be very nice , and it will also unbalance things. ( or maybe not cause we have low thougness and BLOCK :'()

Giving them a new weapon would not make everyone go pikeman. Nor would it unbalance the game.
Just because in the EU it has special powers, doesn't mean it would necessarily have them in game.

Wow, never thought of that idea before! It would be very good to implant that weapon in the game. Good thinking

This is not an objection but more of a question on how it would fit into the game. I'm not flaming the original poster but isn't that weapon alittle....out dated?
Wasn't that sword in KOTOR and wasn't that over 4000 years before episode 1? So technically you want to add a sword thats older than dirt to the game?

well despite the fact that it was still in-use around our timeline in swg, jedi are a bit outdated....

thx for the positive answers 
hum, the echani foil is still used 10years after the death of the emperor, so i dont think it is that much outdated.
i really hope they will put it because every single player wants this.
do you prefer to loose a duel because a ub3r l33t h4x T21 or because of this ??

why don't get both, i mean, all the other games have much much more weapons then swg.

yes, it would make everyoen go pikeman , if it has cortosis weave. . . . every BH you see would be a jedi
every other PvP'er would have M pikeman in their template, , , i would HATE it
