It's a massive shame because those sorts of ideas are the type of thing that would have made the game a load of fun.

By far combat was the most fun when I played to feel where things needed to go. That's why we extended the PK area in Skyworld and shaped the area to be really fun for combat. Fight Club got a bad rap at first for being melee only but that could have accommodated space-age melee weapons, such as plasma swords.
