Damage by weapon rating instead of making a separate damage roll. Yes or no?

I prefer fix damage tie with your roll. Like Shadowrun 4 does, I find that it’s easier on combat heavy game

However I’ve recently GMed a Slugblaster one shot and inflicting a improvised damage called « low battery » on one of my players was a lot of fun

    Wasn't that net hits + base? 4th ed would have you rolling dozens of dice sometimes, I'm not sure you'd have time to finish combat if you had to then go and roll damage afterwards. Though you could become so impervious to damage and so incredibly deadly that combat lost a lot of it's luster once you'd accumulated an appreciable amount of karma.
