Default Re: should there actually be "indestructible" weapons?

The hilts aren't unbreakable and if you break them the energy fields shut down.
I mean actually breaking the energy field itself, which is a much bigger target than the hilt.

That does seem strange, yeah. I always figure if you had 0% that the GM could opt to assign HP so long as he gave it at least DR 26. Taking 25 DR (breakable) has incentive of -5% discount but there doesn't seem to be incentive to take DR26+ if you could take indestructible.

Especially if it's SM 0+ and could be used like indestructible cover. You should probably have to pay for something like "I own a SM+4 wall with 5000 DR" (as an Ally maybe?) separately from "and I get powers when I touch it".

Or maybe something along the lines of "unless you assign HP and DR it lacks cover DR" so it's some kind of ethereal "magic helmet I wear which others can steal and wear themselves but which doesn't actually provide cover, it's indestructible because it's non-interactive aside from visuals" ?
