3 meters is pushing it a bit TOO long man...Thats a pike for a pikeman, not a sword for a swordsman.
hey i said like3 meters long. but really it would be futuristic since there would be no way in todays world would we be able to make and use a 3 meter sword. but in this age like the swords are made a bit liighter in this universe so it can be done. and i think it would be cool if it was done.
Also the cleaver is about 2 meters so why not have it like a 3 meter sword. It's not like a 3 metersword is un heard of in video games. i mean look at some of the weapons in the Final fantasy series some of thoughs must come close to 3 meters. and that is what i was refering to. a Big blade liek Clouds or something. i just took 3 meters just as an example.

i got a brillent idea, how about i take some people's idea add my own and give it to my girlfriend (who is ex-manga artist) and have her draft up a few designs for us?
so if we're all game i''l start begging her now then maybe we'll see at least a few sketch or whatever maybe even colour if i put her on sex ban and stuff and guilt trip her that it's nearly my bday ect
then the devs have no excuses for not having cool design that we all like
haha ya good idea. see i was trying to find people with talant to draw up designs. but if your girl friend would be good as well lol
well she did get pay to draw stuff so i guess she is qualifiled in the talent department. i'm still insanely jealous that she is so talented and able to speak japanese as her secound language and train in a kadatchi (i think thats how you spell it) sword style for 12 years and still going and she still younger than i am!! 
girls get to do all the cool stuff
now come to think of it she would be more qualifiled to draw a swordman weapon than those eggheads at the SOE studio. =/
ah anyways i will start begging her tonight this may take some times so dont expect thinsg to turn up over night okay?
haha i know drawing concepts take awhile. but that is still great. But that is cool that she did all that stuff. and awsome she traind in kadatchi.

so whiles i am getting the courage to ask her let here some idea and stuff, damage type or whatever else that may effect the designs. i do agree however we should try and make it feel like starwar instead of adding another medievil weapon type or god forbid for axes for us swordman. personaly i never seen anybody carry a lumber axe in any starwar movies but hey we got it as swordman weapon anyways.
Aghhh off track!!! weapon ideas!! lets keep them coming
some interesting ideas, and some of them miles of the mark. as it has been said this is starwars and we will need to keep the starwars theme. theres is no point having my girlfriend draw a nice looking weapon that the devs will say NO it dose not fit into the swg theme. all our effort to put idea and draft them up will be a waste =(
as for drawing a sword with a tempature generator in it isnt a bad idea but i think if we keep design flexible the devs can still take the concept and tweak it into what they see fit. keep the ideas coming =) i think heat can also be fun?
so ya cold damage is rarely used maybe we should have a cold weapon just so it brings that damage type into the game more? or eletricity like our friend pikeman and it's do-able for melee weapon.
sadly i cant see how we can have melee that do acid damage since acid needs to be lauched if it was static in one place acid would just eat into the weapon hince it wouldnt be a weapon at all =(
heat is doable i guess since it can be made with matrireal that conduct heat. maybe not in a scale of a flaming sword but maybe it can slightly glow red?
Energy can also be done i can see a design for it but then it'll just look more or less like a lightsabre in clump of metal with it probably a no really
i cant think of any other damage type that maybe interesting. i do think that being at master level the weapon should be fairly big but with a sort of clever speed. only a master swordman can wield a finely balanced heavy melee weapon that can damage well and it can flow with speed. a beautiful art of speed and power only a true master can pull off
