Plasma Sabre or Knife because why not...it adds to the gameplay for stealth or CQC and will be fun could sell different colors of cosmetics. Would love to know if this is a good idea or not if it is, Spread the word. lets try to get fdev to give us this some time in the near future i mean we are in 3307.
yea like hold a button to grab the body and tap to let go
A knife would be absolutely brilliant
Pretty sure the answer is PEGI 16.
if thats the case then so is smacking people with a gun when they are at half health no? if there is no visible large amounts of blood and not a lot of screams of pain is should be okay not pegi 16 and for the knife it cant pen the shields unless its a plasma knife and not a metal
We actually have the ability to stealth kill. Alternate function of the energy tool °zap°. It's even silent
About the bodies... I think the "cheapest" solution would be an illegal item that disintegrates the body. So no issue about cumbersomly coding grab, move, pull, whatnot animations.
Ah! Stargate's Zat'nik'katel, also known as the handy plot convenience.We actually have the ability to stealth kill. Alternate function of the energy tool °zap°. It's even silent

Hey, it's a game and sci-fi, 1300 years into the future, our FSD drives run on space magic anyway, just like the force fields that hold in the atmosphere on stations and ground settlements are basically powered by tooth-fairy-dust Just think about Splinter Cell, when Sam Fisher can run through his own knock-out gas without wearing a mask. Is he immune to it? Is it genetically tailored to not affect him? Who knows! It's a game and it works
Some aggressive chemical agent that decomposes a body and it's suit isn't that far fetched considering the amount of fantasy already existing in the game

yea but that uses a lot of power at once and isnt helpful when energy dips below 35%We actually have the ability to stealth kill. Alternate function of the energy tool °zap°. It's even silent

"This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. The use of bad language in games with a PEGI 16 rating can be more extreme, while the use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs can also be present."
I still believe PEGI 16 could probably be the reason. Killing a person with a knife is pretty gruesome.
This is probably off-topic a bit but... Killing innocent vacation-goers in a tourist settlement HAB units for opinion polls is PEGI 18 for sure. There's no way around that.
All that said, knives are very very cool, and I'd rather stab my enemies than zap them. I'd love to see them in game. People pay ridiculous amounts of irl money to have cool knives in games, too.
Well, basically, there is no blood in ED. Which I find one of the best changes they did. When I saw the blood spurts from the EVA in the alpha footage as they got hit by bullets I was like "PLEASE DON'T. It completely takes one out of the feel, because blood means EVA suit rupture which means your pressure is compromised and you leak into a paper thin atmosphere -> instadeath." I'm super happy there is no blood because of that. And this seemed to certainly also help the pegi rating.
The addition of a knife won't change that. You would still get wanted status because you killed someone.
This argument is a nonstarter. Even if none of your stuff is anyhow upgraded, you still have Energy cells and you can resupply all the time at powered stations. It's not like you are running around to zap people senseless, left right and center. That's not how infiltration works. Especially when They are VERY aware when a dead body is around. Zapping people also is only required when they don't turn their back on you to safely clone their ID , or to off them in a dead end where no other guards see them so you have one angle less to worry about. Zapping also is dangerous because the moment you zap someone ONCE you are wanted, and therefore you may never, ever be scanned by a guard again.
