But apart from being a bubbler/warp scrammer... what can I do with this ship? I've heard about it tanking well, but really, what do people like to do with a broadsword or is it's function pretty much only as a Heavy Interdictor?

I think an old corp mate used the Broadsword with Arty cannons and sniped partially.

You can tank gate guns with it and pop haulers. But really the ship is designed to point things and tank. It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

I've heard of people using it to tank plexes while other people kill it.

Yes HIC's can do that too. Surprisingly well. It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

It'll definitely work for that although tbh the Devoter and Phobos are slightly better suited to it. The reason is simply that the armor rigs don't give a sig radius penalty unlike the shield rigs. This can make it a little easier to tank a plex in an armor hic. I can fly all of them except the Phobos and lost a Broadsword in one of my early attempts to the maze due to poor rep cycles on the logistics and a lack of experience on my part.
It's a personal preference though and the Broadsword is an excellent ship particularly at its given roles.
Just remember 1 thing.. It's damn near impossible to get good dps AND have a good tank on a HIC. You can get a marginal tank but it's definitely compromised if you start tossing damage mods on the lows instead of SPR's or something. Usually a Broadsword or Onyx are passive tanked.

Using a faction/dead space medium booster a Broadsword can active tank 1k DPS+ and can do well over 2k tanked for Sansha. That is nuts! It is also able to fit a rack of 720's and go do around 200dps and be cap stable in the process. It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

Down in Blood Raider 0.0 Broadsword is easy mode 10/10 agro. Complete passive tank w/93-94% EM resist is nice. Course you don't even need to fit guns. your job is to sit there and tank the rats (being RR'd by domi) while your two buddies in nightmares blitz the plex in 15 minutes...

Mutant's fit is the right cookie cutter fit.
HICs without MWD are fail fits.
