Encumbrance
Is there a way to tell gca to ignore weight for certain items, say, things I can drop as a free action in combat?

Re: Encumbrance
Create a new loadout called "In Combat" and don't include those items you plan to drop during combat. Swap loadouts when combat occurs.

The Load-Out manager can be found under View -> Load-Outs from the top menu or by clicking the Box icon from the toolbar. You can have as many load-outs as you need for your character, and it can be easier to set up load-outs if you group items together as parent/child items on the character first. For instance, make all the items in a backpack the child of the backpack; this way when you go into the Load-Out Manager you merely need to select the backpack or not for each load-out.

Re: Encumbrance
So when I load my Combat Load, it shows on my character sheet as Encumbrance 0, full Dodge/Move (so far, so good), but on my weapon table, Fencing weapons are still taking a 1 pt hit - full load is Enc 1.

Re: Encumbrance
First, make sure you chose the correct Encumbrance Load-Out in the Load-Out Manager.
Second, there is an issue where changing Encumbrance Load-Out doesn't fully update the characters stats. This means that the skill scores on the combat table won't update until you do something to force a recalculation; either changing the level of a trait (attribute, skill, advantage, etc) or doing a Tools -> Recalculate (or F5).
