    There's not really too much difference in the overall "attack speed" of most melee weapons, and such as there are are mainly subsumed into the modifier they impose on the warriors' attack skill value. Dunno about the missiles - when I came on board the stat system had been established a long time ago so I'm not privy to the reasonings that went into it, my job's mainly "error-checking" the values in the EDU - but in any case I know the diverse lances have that nasty delay to counterbalance their very high lethality values and to help simulate the fact they're rather cumbersome and unwieldy weapons designed for the charge rather than the ensuing melee.

    Side note: from the testing I've been doing with modified radius values on various units, I'll have to say that hot damn it's looking promising. Big thumbs-up for everybody who suggested and contributed to the idea (PraetorFigus and anybody else I may not be remembering ATM) - as the Soldier says in Team Fortress 2, "You deserve a medal!"

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
