Why wield a lightsaber axe or a flamethrower when you can wield a longsword? Many kudos to the lady on the left for keeping it classy.
This cover has a very "Guardians of the Galaxy" feel to it, which I imagine is how most Starfinder adventuring groups are going to resemble in their eclectic party makeup. I approve.
Sometimes it pays to use a blade as to not blow holes in the hull of your own ship. Melee weapons actually make a fair amount of sense in ship to ship combat when a lot of stuff in a space ship presumably reacts badly to high energy weapon fire.
Or maybe there are Dune type shields that block fast moving objects but allow slower attacks like blades through.
Depends on what you want for your game. A lot of people are excited about Starfinder, and Bill Webb (Frog God Games) has put up some art on Facebook.
I support the notion that Starfinder Campaigns are as individual as GMs are.
i was surprised by the sword too, i would have thought it would be a vibro blade or at least look like a modern/techie sword but that is just a nice, classy, looking longsword. I wonder if it has some sentimental or symbolic value to the character?
Or it's a magic weapon.
