It's not perfect, but does have some formulas for calculating the damage for the "shooting range" results. I'm sure it can be improved upon if someone is interested. And certainly adding additional weapons to it would be simple.

So, I copied that spreadsheet and made a few changes. Take a look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19uJ-Z8qC0VCpHxQPDxF0fBkzWtSWYiICg7AHD72328Q/edit?usp=sharing and tell me what you think.

Longer-term, I’d love to compare carbines and blaster rifles in the same way.

However, this still doesn’t take into account what happens with the boost dice on certain weapons. We’d need to run some Monte Carlo simulations for that.

I wouldn't mind having a comparison of the various rifles can also be useful.

This can tide you over until the article comes out.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is something that can help me both as a player and as a GM.

Don’t forget the FFG Star Wars Index list of Energy Weapons .
