If you are setting it up so the auto fire PC is mowing through your opposition you are not taking the character into consideration during your encounter design. And you have no one to blame but your self. Auto fire is easy to deal with.
If you're setting up encounters for a weapon effect, you're admitting autofire is an issue. I'd rather just let PCs use it and be able to use it on them without having to think around the effect.

No I am not. By your logic every build is broken if you take them into account in your encounter design. And you should be taking your players into account. Is charm broken because take into account the fact that you have a charmer in the party for social encounters? Their are so many ways to make a high damage output character in this system addressing just one breaks the balance. Instead of whining about one style of damage output learn how to deal with it. Are you guys going to whine about double sabers... oh wait there already is a thread about it...what about gunslingers? oh there is already a thread about it too. Or marauders and their high soak? oh thats right their are tons of threads on that too. It amazes me how many GMs can't seem to manage thes. even though FFG gave them a whole tool box of tools that can handle these problems with ease. a couple ranks in adversary and some cover can do wonders. Or a character with a lightsaber and ranks in reflect...Autofire is not that hard to deal with.
Should we nerf every combo just to make you feel better?
I'm not getting into some petty back and forth and I'm not repeating my points anymore. The OP feels its broken, so do I, so do a lot of folks as this thread pops up essentially every 3 months. He asked for ideas which I am providing.
