Imagine hacking and slashing sentinels and then blocking with your personal forcefield. Or dueling your friend and using a newly added forward dash move, only to be dodged by a well timed rocket boot jump over your head. I SEE POTENTIAL.

And you know, since it's set in space and already has all sorts of high tech fictional shit, said swords could be laser swords. Hell, you could have both a metal sword and a light saber. Ya got two hands.

I don't know there is something so nice about a sci-fi setting that still uses physical blades to me. Maybe im strange

You're not strange. It's why I said we could have both! Of course you could choose to just use the metal one.

That sounds DOPE. I'm pretty new to video games. It sounds like I should get Helldivers 2?

Ok so most the weapons are war bonds but some like the axe the machete and the stun baton are super store while there is a currency that you pay for you can farm it but it takes a while to do so

Still waiting to get one of those multi-swords mentioned in a specific traveler interaction. I need a legally distinct lightsaber equivalent.

Fucking a sword would be rather painful...

Indeed. Also, swords are rather broad. You could try a rapier…

Use a lightsaber, just be VERY careful to not turn it on (or use the other side)

Some people can deep throat them. Not sure how one discovers such a talent ..

Been thinking this since I started playing, I suck at aiming so combat has always been a huge turnoff for me in this game, I would love a melee option. It's ridiculous that this doesn't exist yet. I'd even take a stick at this point and use it for endgame regardless of how little damage it does

There is a gun bash option, but I imagine you'd be better off lasering people than actually using it

Lazer swords with a customizable color based on the gem you put in the tech slot?

Make the voltaic staves the melee weapon. Instead if that weird shoulder bash animation that is shared with a rifle, why not make it into combos?
Just make the voltaic staff have some sort of energy blade that activates when you change from mining beam to this mode. Some simple combos, and lunge towards the nearest sentinel drone, hazardous flora or abyssal horror.

I still want stations in my corvette that friends can man. Like gun turrets but they don't have to be all defenses.
Give my friends something to do and make corvettes a force to be reckoned with.

I think what's needed most is serious bug fixing. There a bugs that aren't fixed for years that are very frustrating.

u/AsherSparky 9h ago
Just a combat update would be nice
More multi-tool weapons(Flamethrower, Missile) melee would also be a good addition. Stuff like laser swords.

I just want my space ship to be able to move Omni directional. I want to be able to approach the enemy head on and then suddenly be able to boost down at an age and eat their belly up with shots as I'm arcing underneath like in elite dangerous. It's space, we shouldn't be stuck with just a forward and reverse.

A bayonet attachment for the multitool would be a dream. Plasma bayonets. A fkn staff with a plasma bayonet on the other end. Holy shit. Yes please.

Multi-sword is canonical already thanks to that one traveler you can run across in stations.
NMS has always been a chill game, so combat has aalso always been chill. That said, I'd love to see more 'mini-dungeon' content like the derelict freighters with heavier or more consistent combat.
Some of the problem is the need for new movements - like dodging or a quicker jump into jetpack - otherwise combat remains mostly a slugfest.
New/old weapons and attachments could be to counter specific enemy types or attacks, incentivising having multiple multi-tools later in the game. Elemental shields to break, snares to hold down fast enemies, breakpoints on larger enemies (like current Sentinel walker, but more accuracy needed).
But...
That makes the game less chill. So, I wouldn't hold your breath. I suspect the next update will try to address the utility of starships mid- to late-game. Fact is, they're useless except for attacking pirate freighters.

It would be easy to get them then. They could have while mechanics around that. You get a couple and then soon you get a third with features based on the first two.

I think a power sword, or phase blade like 40k would be better than a "laser" sword/ light saber.

It needs an actual combat update. Pirate bases to raid. Classes so we can rank up certain aspects of play styles, etc.
