this is a space/scifi game and i think perhaps adding a "light saber" of some sort would be awsome and open up a whole new inventory of items even if its just different colors i hope atleast one dev will read this and consider making what i think would be an epic update
a light saber is copyrighted but some sort of melee weapon would be good maybe? i dont know what use would melee be? we probably wouldn't even use it cause it would be so useless im for having more weapons in the game but melee seems pointless
The "Lightsaber" name is owned by Star Wars, and you just can't throw in another class of weapons, it'll brake Blackstar before you know it, plus it would cause the monsters to be one-hit killed. So no.Quote:

Just call it a beam sword.
Same thing as lightsaber, but a name that won't get them in trouble.
Look at the Chainsaw rifle vs. The Lancer from Gears of War.
I guess lol yes, he's right a beam sword... what if someone already trademarked and copyrighted the name?Quote:

doubtful. A Lightsaber is a proper noun. A beam sword is not.Quote:

Who says they copyrighted it? Who copyrighted the word tissue? Who copyrighted the name banana? To me, they are just names. I don't care at all about copyright unless it's impersonation like ID theft.Quote:

Seems like they have the ingredients to make it happen.....

its more like a bat than a sword.. i think
how many thread has been made about this "Light Saber"?
c'mon guys, if you're an operative, would you like to run across the map while the turrets/mobs are firing at ya?
i don't thing so.think about it bro.. that would be a massacre
Maybe so, but if for no other reason, it could spice up pvp a bit.
Plasma Sword. I've seen people get away with stuff like that countless times. Call it something different and it can look however you want it to look.Quote:
