I mean, I dunno, what I'd love to do to make this a ridiculously show-offy weapon is something like:
- Wield it
- Click your target (from some distance away)
- User screams, shouts some vaguely incomprehensible half-remembered "ninja" words at their target
- After a delay of 3-4 seconds, providing opportunity for the target to get away, the user FUCKING RUNS at the target in an uninterruptable uncontrolled frenzied scream that will only end upon the sword's user hitting something.
- If the sword meets its target, severe sharp damage (maybe a forced crit), massive bleeding and a chance for a delimbing, as with the c-saber but with more power.
- If the sword hits a wall, it gets stuck into it, requiring the user to remain absolutely still and uninterrupted to pull it out of the wall.
- If the user charges out into space, well, the charge will end, and you have something you can throw for the delta-v to get back to the station if you don't suffocate first.
- The charge cannot be cancelled and does not home in on the target's position if they move while the screaming guy with the sword is running full pelt at them.
Oh I guess it could be throwable too, with the same thing of either impaling some bastard or getting stuck in a wall.
Why use this, when the c-saber is more effective? Exactly. This is a showboating murder weapon. This is not meant to be a tool of precision in this design.
