Here's a quick thought folks...
I was finding that most of my games were ending at the first or maybe second firefight. Weapons do huge amounts of damage and armour is thin on the ground.
For my next game I'll be using the "1 - 6 points of damage per weapon regardless rule". I've been playing a lot of Holmes and Delving Deeper recently so my players shouldn't have too many problems.

I guess it depends on the flavour of your game - whether it's relatively combat-heavy, or more like Traveller where you do everything possible to avoid getting shot and then worry about shooting back.

I use X-P E-suits that up their armor class and this helps a bit. But I have been gaming X-P for a few years with my boys using just d6 damage and it works just fine.

It's true, Laser rifle at full charge, 5d6 damage vs 1st level characters is brutal.
Then again, how many storm troopers do you see get shot twice?

true! Storm troopers only hit NPCs, so to speak, except Leia in Return of the Jedi.
I suppose the cloning messed up jango's aim, lol

I scaled back the damage from firearms in my game as well. It's a realism vs. playability issue.
