#574892
All the diversity we get from the way damage is done today comes not from having two bizarrely distinct rule sets for damage, but rather from the BBSD's impact on seed economy. The fact that your damage becomes more powerful at the cost of a seed slot is a significant and interesting trade-off. But, as I said, that is not a consequence of the rules (which are conflicting and repetitious in really the worst possible way). It's a consequence of the fact that BBSD costs a seed slot and there is no cheaper+weaker alternative available.

disagree with this rather strongly. The difference creates little diversity in gameplay. The two rulesets are similar in the important respects, but differ only in weird details (how they deal with the icon, what attribute damage they deal, the required repair time, etc.). What the two systems create instead is confusion.
