After the extensive discussions of AP rounds and heavy armor's limitations last week, one of my take-aways was that the lack of variety between items greatly limits the design space of the game. Instead of just pointing out a problem, I wanted to help provide a solution too, so I developed this...

I wonder if these have been playtested and tweaked unofficially (since there's nothing in the errata)? I just find it hard to believe that their implementation is working as intended. As things stand, AP rounds are a 10-credit investment without any trade-offs. This completely negates a kevlar...

My players and I have dived pretty heavily into the combat at this point, which means we've come up with a lot of questions: 1) For tracers or beam weapons, what is the rationale behind making them take 2 actions to use? (one reason I've seen would be the possibility to turn your first attack...

This has been a pretty contentious issue for most of my campaign. It feels extremely unbalanced for a character with a single-exploit investment to completely negate another character's heavy armor (which has monetary costs and drawbacks for use). Just automatically done. Armor becomes a...

Just wondering if there's any specific place these sorts of things are posted, and if so, where that might be?

This hasn't come up a whole lot in my game yet, but the theorycrafter in me is wondering about how it plays out. Player A needs to reposition but knows there's an enemy waiting for him to move into the open and blast him. Player B knows this as well and provides suppressive fire for Player A...

Think my original post got eaten by the internet. Sorry if this ends up as a double post. I've been running a scifi/cyberpunk game (limited to 8B tech level) since April, and my players and I have noticed that combat greatly favors ballistic weaponry over other types. Using pistols as an...
