Melee Weapons!

I've always wondered if STS have melee weapons in their plans for SL? It would be good to implement this into the game as a shield and gun combo seems pretty unreal? The class specific weapons can still be applied, something like Heavy Mallet for Commando, Dual Swords for Operative and an Axe for Engineers that can be combined with a shield for extra armor, this would also level out Engs a bit in pvp.

They would all have short range of course, something like 6m range or maybe even less, but with extra damage than guns or crit bonuses to compensate. It would definately make pvp more interesting and I dont think it would make a difference to the Op's ability to constantly keep his opponent at a distance as Comm need to get close to get an advantage anyway.

What do you think?

I like the idea of like a lightsaber type thing where at a distance it can shoot when you swing it, doing light Damage, and if you get close enough to actually hit them with it, it does considerably more. If commandos could have a working gravity well, a sword like this would be greatly beneficial.
