I think there needs to be a melee unit that doesn't do blade damage. too many units are immune to blades

Or just lessen the number of units immune to blade.  But I agree melee units are kind of "Eh...".

It's a tricky thing with melee units; they're totally ineffective against wide swaths of unit types, but they're effective enough in other ways that many players feel they need better tools to deal with them (like the flak turret).

I still feel when using them that it is really unituitive and annoying that they dont attack turrets & shieldgens.. low damage would be prefferable since then at least you wouldnt get the situation where 400 vampires are in system but you actually need to bring in more units to deal with a few turrets under a shieldgen

but of course, then again nothing is better at taking out command stations than vampires
