We've got stun weapons, energy weapons, slugthrowers, vibro weapons,  ion weapons, archaic weapons...in the end they're all ways to do the same basic thing...take an opponent out.  Why exactly do we need more types of damage...,but there's only room in a book for so much stuff, and before you start throwing your own made up stuff in there...yes I want the stuff I've seen in the movies, books, and comics first.  That's why I bought a Star Wars game.Felon, you seem to want SWSE to be a toolbox game, like D&D 3.5, the problem is it was never meant to be that.  It has a specific setting, with specific tropes that have, to a point, been well defined.  I personally don't want D&D or d20 in Space...I like the simplicity of the game and feel it fits the mood and genre of Star Wars, what I bought the game to play.</blockquote>
