Like, the heaviest weapon in my list was the "Ulterus Obliterator Railgun" and it did 12d(10) and was meant to be mounted on heavy power armor or a vehicle. The combat rifle meanwhile 4d pi with a ROF and RCL of 2.

But that setting was meant to be playable with Han Solo-like characters without them turning into red mist if they got hit by a stray plasma bolt.

It was quite a pain to write up weapons, armor, space-ships etc. though.

Edit: Oh, and the best non-powered armor had 18/10 torso DR, while the heaviest power armor was 25/20.

Did you have a copy of all that work?
