"I'm sorry, but I can't consider a system that doesn't as strongly encourage the repeated slaughter of such weak and unchallenging opponents to be broken or in need of change."

I don't need it changed, a good ap does not depend solely on his weapon though it is certainly a set back when you lose it. I'm just saying that I am not going to adjust my roleplay because I might not get a charge from an individual, that's all. If someone is a Maran and I am a Scarab, I'm going to take him down charge or no charge. I cannot help it if half the fortress did not give me a charge, so be it. I won't multikill you but I don't want people getting complacent on me and stroll in front of me after I just killed them 15 minutes earlier and expect me to do nothing because I might not get a charge. I don't think that is right. But for me to lose 40% of my charges because I was trying to roleplay, well, it would have been nice if there was some kind of reward for me but so be it. Like I said, ap's would certainly seek out the weak and unchallenging if they could because that is just the despicable type of person they are. It's not too big an issue, in my case, it just encouraged me to kill more in hopes of getting charges as I am sure it will all future ap's. I guess we'll see how it turns out.
