Alright, the suggestion is fairly simple.

Either add a throwing spear, as a second upgrade to a normal spear, or lower the AP cost to throw the spear, and give it more range.

Currently you have to throw knives, which are specially made to be throw if you want to have a non-grenade character, while throwing spears have been around for a very long time, and would be easier to make, even in a tribal village.

It would give people something else to use early on, and would make arming a throwing character easier, and would allow people to level them without a base, or repeated mining trips, since all you'd need is the wood and junk, which you can get more of faster than metal parts.

Looks fairly decent, I support this. More spear throwing!

[Sarakin]

Knives should be faster, but spears deadlier (but slow). Overally, throwing knives should be better than spears (in terms of DPS ? )

Give every melee weapon a 'Swing/Stab/Whatever' attack and make the other a 'Throw' attack. Throw crowbars! Throw clubs! Throw combat knives! I think it would make throwing a lot more practical.

Except sledgehammers and (maybe) cattle prods. Though I kind of like the idea of throwing a cattle prod at someone.

i would love if thorwing spear had more range and power i would make a throwing spear alt just for fun and see how much powerfull it would be.

You know what would make throwing more practical?
Add melee damage to it(but not grenades), make bonus hth attack affect it(but not grenades), have Heave Ho! affect damage and range(but not grenades) and finally make all knifes and spears throwable.

ripper throwable???

make all knifes and spears throwable.

as above and switchblade??? pardon my ignorance but how effective would throwing either of these be? what about shiv (if it is every around anymore that is)?

It's as effective as we want it to be. I don't think it's a huge stretch of the imagination to assume someone with decent throwing skill could so some damage by throwing things that aren't spears or specially designed throwing knives. Maybe not rippers and cattle prods, though more because it seems a bit silly than anything else. It's no less believable than being able to hit someone's eyeball. Just a very, very easy way of expanding the throwing skill.

Throwing a ripper at someone can't be a lot effective, as you have to press some button in order to activate the rippers vibroblate. Same with cattle prod 'n stuff.

[Slaver Snipe]

Meh i think throwing a super sledge with 9-10 strength (needed because its so fucking heavy) would be realistic although the range would undoubtedly not be at 15 no matter your strength...and if you want to throw expensive items like that at an enemy why not...

[pistacja]

Sledge, ripper, catle prod and suchlike can be thrown, why not? Same as minigun, when you run out of ammo... but I don't think we need that.

+1, it would be fun...

[Cocain]

spears need a buff imo

more type of spears would be cool along with a buff damage when throwing

all other melee weapons should be able to be thrown... theres nothing more disguting then a melee vs gunner and see gunner run away.. at least give melee 8 hexs of range so one can kill the other

dont let realism get in the way... i woulnd care if i was able to throw brahmins aslong it was balanced

[Ulrek]

Two things..

A: If you could throw a sledge hammer you'd still need to have throwing skill. not melee, to use it.

B: This is about spears, posting about throwing rippers should get its own topic as a buff to throwing knives... so take that some where else please, it's off topic.
