im sorry i have no good response for you, but i just found this very amusing: "Look at the size of that guys pole!" hehe

as im on starsider (cant get them yet), i have no idea what a vibro lance or long vibro axe looks like. are they more staff like?

no, they look more like a large two handed sword than anything else. They have a handle anda pole, which looks more like a blade, that only comes out of one end of the handle.

You are talking about the basic lance. Yes it is too short.

Vibro Lance and Long Vibro Axe look awesome and are not short like the basic lance.

I know this is probably not a huge concern at the momment with all the other items that us Pikemen have to worry about but here it is anyway.

I started the "Polearm" line because I wanted to swing really big sticks around. But the higher I go in the line the smaller the sticks get. All of the animations look great when you are using a actual staff but when you get higher it seems that the lance is the weapon of choice due to it's damage capabilities.

Now nothing against the lance but it's too darn short. And what am I doing carring a lance around anyway? It's not like I have a Charger that I am galloping around and jousting people with.

I want an actaul heavy staff that does as good as damage as the vibro lance that looks like a polearm, in other words it has two ends to it.

I don't know, am I missing the boat? Is this weapon already in game and I have just yet to see it?

I am sick of people coming up to me in game and seeing the lance and asking me for two-handed sword training. I want people to be able to look at my weapon and say "Now there is a polearm specialist!" and "Look at the size of that guys pole!"

What do you folks think? Is it already in game or do we need to ask for it?

i agree,

the normal lance don't look like a pole, it looks linke a fishing rod.

I would like to see a more realistic weapon.

I was once asked if I needed bait for my fishing pole when I was walking around with a basic lance.

I like the look of the reinforced combat staff the best...

*shrug*

but the lance is short. the vibro lance and the long vibro axe look pretty neat.

I guess my question is this. shouldn't the blade be at the top of the weapon when carrying it and wielding it?

It's really bugging me also. But the Vibro Lance and Long Vibro Axe can't be made yet. The material (Ditanium Steel) neededisn't on any planet. Kinda sucks.

hehe, I thought that it was odd that the standard hit for the lance was with the handle. Its such an awkward looking weapon.
