  • The maximum range for basic combat attacks will be 64 meters.
  • Melee will be effective at a maximum distance of 6 meters. This will tighten the look and feel of combat making it more "up close and personal".

    • from the look of this that means that a comando wount get the snot kicked out of him by a TKM at 18 metters before he gets the chance to flame him. personaly I think this IS GOOD. but you damn well better understand that a TKM within 6 metters if going to kill you. makes the game more realitic

    Coupled with the Line Of Sight change, this is cool news. Suddenly we have a tactical element to combat.

    Damn right.


    I'm just wondering about the Line Of Sight stuff. Will pets and vehicles block LOS? Will banthas andkimos become melee infantry tanks, ala WW1? Have to wait and see, but I hope they will.

    It says maximum effective range. It doesn't say maximum range, which worries me some. I can still hit with a pistol from 64m without that much invested in pistoleer at the moment. I really hope they mean maximum range or else melee will be even more ridiculous than it was.



    And with the LOS response... I sure hope this means I can shoot at things from an elevated point now. That never made much sense to me.



    "Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

    true, but I think a ranged squad who knows what they are doing will do quite well in an urban enviroment.

    LOS doesn't change crap in the Cities. LOS already functions in the cities. They're referring to the current ability to shoot directly through hills. While sometimes you can shoot through a building, normally you can't.

    I think they need to do more with range and combat. I think 6m for all melee isn't sensible. 6m is about what, 18 feet? That's kind of a stretch for a fist fight. Although it makes sense for a pike, maybe a sword. I think there should be three melee ranges.

    Close, 0-2m TKM.
    Medium 0-4m Swords/fencers
    and long 0-6m Pikes.

    The same could be done for ranged weapons,
    pistol range 0-20m,
    carbines 0-40m
    and rifles 0-60m...

    Accuracy drop-off should mean more. I can hit a target at 64m with a pistol but i should do much less damage and find the shot much, much harder. /aim may actually mean something.

    I never could understand how TKA can kill you when their fists don't even touch you. It's sad.
    But this change is very good.
