I understand that swords are cool and all, but if i'm a captain i feel like i can do what i please. So if i wanna punch an alien to death i would like the choice to do so. May i suggest that the captain class can have the option to replace the sword with the gauntlet weapons.
but on another note, can we have another support style class? recon and engineer are good in design, i just like to have another with an emphasis on tanking with ok melee offense. Just one where it can taunt as a main ability and just shield bashes things for attacking.
If there's a reason not to then fine i'm not gonna raise hell on this
PS: Probably one of the better squad based strategy game I've played in awhile, I like the overall design of the game. Simple numbers, simple battle interactions, abundant choices on how to build squads and individuals. Thanks for making a good game and I hope you keep working on this game in the near future.

heatgenbu - thank you for the post and for the encouragement. I really hope you will share your thoughts in a review of the game -- it is what we need most of all to keep making games. We are, in fact, working through a roadmap of new weapon combinations that include a Sword-and-Gauntlet Captain. So, in that regard, you'll get your wish! It is a little lower on the list, after Flame Engineer, Assassin, and possibly even Valkyrie for Soldiers. But -- yep! Interesting request about another support role. We'll see how the new developments for Engineer / Scout play out and then take another look when all of the new weapon types (each with new Talents) are in!

fallen - I would love to see more of a Shield and Gauntlet combo somewhere down the line, and thank you for taking the time to read the post and replaying. I wish ya'll the best endeavors to make the game more wonderful.

heatgenbu - we understand the requests to allow shields in more places, and have seen the Shield+Pistol request a lot as well. Its understandable to want more tank roles on the squad, but we will be careful introducing them. What platform are you playing on?

I could see a Shield + Pistol combo if there was a way to bash with the shield. Vraes also wants this, just saying  |

Pfft ... a sharpened shield with blade weave of course. and for Vraes a stone dicus shield, shield bash at distance when stuck behind the sneak in tight corridors. |

I saw something about stun effects, this would be a perfect place to add them  A 10 foot tall mech throwing its weight behind a massive shield would be a terrible blow for any enemy, I'd expect |

Lol, wascalwywabbit , this is a serious conversation we're trying to have, get real-- how would Vraes pick up his shield, and what if it breaks? Some people...  |

Shields are for defense especially in close quarters fighting.
Would love a Captain with Shield and Pistol.
I rarely use the sword on my captains, mostly equip whatever gives me best defensive bonuses after all other pieces of equipment and armor have been fitted. His pistol and buffs are main focus so let us beef up defense with shield instead of sword.

A monocrystalline carbon based stone. That's my excus... I mean answer. edit: and option 1: it bounces back, or 2: he has the sneak for a shield in aforementioned case, no parry bonus necessary, he just needs to pick it up before throwing again like the spear in Hoplite. tBF needs adamantine/vibranium shields so all these folk can be vibrantly happy about what they're adamant about - Heavy and sharpened. More seriously, pistol may seem too smallish for use with a shield, I can see it but have reservations, but perhaps an arc rifle..? |

Although I find swords more useful for my play style I see the strength of argument for wanting the choice... |
