One of my favorite Deficient Master videos recommends running D&D combat pretty much the same way you're describing 24xx combat. He calls it "combat as war" vs "combat as sport". I feel like the real difference here is that 5e doesn't incentivize that behavior while 24xx does.
I'm not sure where you're seeing defense rolls. You are correct, these don't exist in 24XX. You break armor/gear/items to turn a serious injury into a temporary hindrance.

Superb stuff. Thank you. Your descriptions for combat and the monsters are great.
Any chance you'd be willing to write up a few examples of combat?
You've written about defense rolls a couple of times. I was under the impression these did not exist in 24xx.

I think the example of how the owl bear is a risk confused me. My bad.
Yes, I'll be tackling granularity in combat with examples next post!
