Ha. if i COULD use Admin powers in there the whole game would've ended the second it started
but yeah. to G4E's inquiry, there ARE Melee weapons, and generally melee is half melee and half ranged. however, to use a ranged weapon as ridiculously powerful as mine [a single shot could take out like 7-10 average enemy units if fired at the right time and in the right place], i have to lose my ability to fight melee. i still do melee damage, but it's so weak i may as well not have it. so to compensate i had the mecha, a Dreadnought, or Dready as Doc, TT and I affectionately called him

. he usually protected me at close range by pounding the everloving crap out of anything that got close enough to engage me in melee. but sadly, it's AI controlled, meaning it does stupid stuff every now and again, for example, walking off to fight a random enemy that shot it with a pathetically weak weapon while the majority are concentrating on me, Doc and TT and mauling us. or crushing the cover that was keeping us safe, or killing an enemy at the end of a wave before we had recovered from it, leaving us in bad condition when we enter the next wave of enemies and subsequently getting ourselves killed [though, as TT said, we managed to do really well the last time, not dying until the wave before last [only in Doc's case, since he was being mauled by 3 mechs, who were tag teaming the two of us. i managed to retreat before they killed me, but Doc wasn't so lucky >_<]...
