Oh ya. Of course I want it in-game. I became Pike because I loved it so much.

We should get an AP3 weapon. It would make sense since we carry axes as tall or taller than we are depending on what race you play as.
Melee' weapons can't pierce armor...that's why armor was developed in real life...to keep swords and axes from chopping people into bits. True, a weaknessin the armor can be found, but all in all, both medieval and modern armor were designed to stop the penetration of edged weapons (and projectile weapons in moderns times). The size of the pike does not mean a thing when it comes to armor piercing capability.
However, vibro-pikes (like we havein SWG)are not only edged (meaning highly penetrative against flesh), but they also have a vibro motor, which should give some kind "armor breaking" quality to them, based on what I understand of the weapons.
At any rate...the size of a weapon does not determine if it can pierce armor or not. But..a pike would have a better chance than a powerhammer on actual penetration. That said, I think Pikemen shold have an AP2 weapon under the current system....and this is one mean looking Pike...definitely has the look of an"uber" weapon
Since AP is being removed though, the best we can hope for is just to see it at all...and maybe get some nice stats to go along with it.
