there's no reason to use a sword, like, ever. unless you're absolutely bitchmade afraid of falling over like a giant pussy. or you're hitting rear arc with enough damage to XL check (in which case, it's likely that a fist would accomplish the same thing).

as is now, on any TSM mech, having a hatchet instead of a kick is only relevant if you're hitting rear arc into engine kill. (or you're a pussy)

I like 20~55t melee mechs with TSM and I've used them to decent effect. But kicks are usually better. Melee weapons are for rear hits into engines, and cheeky shit like attacking up an elevation, or a mace/lance on a specialized mechs+pilot (SPAs).

SPAs and quirks are all getting BV adjustments, yes.

... The group local to me (that I don't play in) has been running a Hinterlands campaign and after talking to a few of them about it, they're actually just raw dogging that + vanilla SPAs.

Wild stuff.
