[WOTC] Mass Effect Omni-Blade

Description
What are you going to do, when your rifle inevitably overheats? The sane answer would be "pull out my pistol" or, worst case scenario, "go for my knife". Well, fear not, as the brave engineers of Systems Alliance looked into the problem, and found a... different solution - you would carry a ginormous blade in battle! Now, calm down, it's not as bad, as it sounds. Uur microfabrication technologies allow you to 3D-print that blade any time you require it, so you wouldn't have to bear with the additional burden of a medieval weapon on your back!

"This disposable silicon-carbide weapon can be forged by an omni-tool's fabricator. The transparent omni-blade is suspended in a mass effect field safely away from the user's skin and warning lights illuminated the field so the searing blade only burns the intended enemy."

Features:
- Mass Effect 3's iconic weapon - the Omni-Blade - as an alternative to Ranger's sword - also should work with any modded class, that can carry swords.
- Sound effects ripped from ME3
- Custom deployment animation, attack animation based on Skirmisher's ripjack
- Built in "Slash" ability, to stay functioncal even with non-Ranger classes, if you have a mod for that
- All three tier levels, with similar stats to swords, but marginally higher crit chance/crit damage on T2 and T3 to offset the lack of stun/fire chance
- Configurable stats via INI

Drawbacks:
- Guaranteed to have a side effect of having two "Slash" abilities on Ranger, as the melee ability is built in the weapon, in case it is added to any class, that lacks Ranger's built-in melee attack.

Using this with a Shinobi classe (for WOTC) my soldier uses the blade animation instead of the Skirmisher's ripjack one. Is there a way to fix this?

@DonnyGuitar I mean, there are mods out there to reskin weapons. Since the upgraded versions of the omni-blade don't seem to show up for me (I play with Prototype Armoury and LWOTC, which makes it so that you need to craft stuff on an individual basis. The Mass Effect weapons don't seem to support this, ergo, upgraded versions don't become available. Instead, I use 'normal' weapons and reskin them with XSkin by Iridar ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2337161588 ) , which should work in your situation too. I think.

Anybody know if theres a way to convert this from a sword to ripjack type weapon?

This would be a nifty replacement (or supplement) for the skulljack, too :)

Any ini setting to add so that omni-blade doesnt appear invisible?

Would it be possible to replace ALL Blade Based Melee Weapons with this Omni-Tool ?

...i am a big Fan of Mass Effekt, XCOM and LWotC...
...well, and of course a big fan of all the people investing thier time in modding...

... but i still get uncomfortable, when my Mass Effekt themed charakters use Combat Knifes and Spec Ops Knifes whithin Soldier class restrictions...

An Omni-Tool mod would be so awesome, it would be perfect for the Quarian character I want to make (a specialist without a Gremlin drone).
