A 75 ton Marauder wails away at a 20 ton Stinger while an Ost(something) fires in the background....

And OMG, the scaling, the scaling! The Stinger's as big as the Marauder! xD

I think the issue is that the "Wasp" and "Marauder" from Macross (that cartoon .gif shown above) weren't originally meant to be 20 and 75 tons respectively. That's just something FASA did for BT when they used the designs.

Oh I know, I know. Even in that universe, the Glaug should tower over the Valkyrie, so scaling's still off.

I support the notion of swords.

will there be modules?

heat..ghost heat for two?

range? I assume...that those damn clan swords will be like 20' longer...and lighter....and probably sharper.

Will I have to research with xp a swing rate of some kind? Will a standard 285 swing slower than if I am using an XL 350?

Well there could be a module to make your sword 2' longer than the rest... xD

Since when you are swinging, you are bringing torso twisting into the equation, and torso twist rate is tied to engine size, essentially yes, a bigger engine would make your sword swing faster...

The funniest part is ppl are acting like swords (Axes, Hatchets, Maces, Claws) were never a thing in Battletech
