I don't know much about Star Wars but as a pikeman I think the Long Vibro Axe should be heavy Armor piercing since it is like a halbred which was desinged to shred armor, I could understand having bad accuracy mods on this weapon with slow speed and a high max.
The Vibro lance would be the opposite, as it is much lighter.
As far as the Energy Lance it's kinda stupid imo and doesn't really serve much use other than it being energy, it's no better or worse than any of the aboveplayer crafted weapons.
I wouldn't mind having the EL removed or changed to what everyone wants the double-bladed polearm as our master weapon and make it quest based where we meet up with a ancient member of the emperor's guard where u have to be a master pikeman to take the quest and prove your skillz as a master to him.
The doublebladed pole would be medium armor pierce medium in the damage range not stronger than the vibro axe but faster and more accurate, not sure of what the damage type was in the star wars universe, but in short pikeman should be one of the most respected classes in the game I mean come on we were the emperor's guard, out of the entire universes he chose us now give us the weapon needed to earn this respect.
Oh well doubt anyone will really listen to these posts so we'll wait to the revamp and see what a pikeman's place in the universe is at the moment it's not pretty.

i like your lva idea. maybe change the lva to be a heavy ap, but make it slow and cumbersome, but high dmg. have high ham costs, bad speed, good damage, bad range modifiers (it does) and ap 3.a more extreme weapon, the opposite of the lighter vibro lance. then the doublebladed pole would be in between. medium ap, mediocre dmg/speed/range mods/ham costs. a new dmg type would be nice indeed, but it doesnt seem very possible to fit that in a pike

This thread is like a year old, i know. But we still need a revision. Pikeman is dull and it sucks. I haven't tried it on the CU but the weapons still don't look any better. The kashyyykian bladestick has a freaking dagger on each end. Whoop dee do. People have been asking for double-BLADED polearms, not double pushpin polearms. We need something that looks elegant and deadly. The swordsmen have their PH's and scythes, the Fencers have- well okay- they hit people with big black dildoes (stun baton). But then the TKs just look cool normally.
What we need, i.m.o., is something like those weapons the imperial guards have maybe. Simple but scary. I mean since when you call a goddamn sword a scythe anyway? The scythe is a staff with a blade on the end. I'd like to emphasize the word "staff" there...
Sorry i'm a bit unnorganized; too many thoughts crammed into one. Ultimately, what Pikeman needs are more weapons. I probably haven't said anything new but maybe because it's such a long response someone will pay attention now.

Ive been saying cold dmg pike for the longest time, and that isnt too far fetched anymore with Hoth coming in JTLS.
Yeah, its an old ass thread, but that is still funny.
