Everything I've read agrees that Line and Blast cannot benefit from overcharge. As stated in both blast and line "A line/blast weapon doesn’t benefit from feats or abilities that increase the damage of a single attack (such as the operative’s trick attack)." So while it can still buff explosion, the issue was that it doesn't specify anything in regards to automatic, but I can see it being deemed too powerful to stack 7d6's onto every enemy hit. Or for that matter, even illogical. This ability functions, as far as I can tell, almost identically to boost. If a GM would accept half damage to all targets it would be better than just doing full buff damage to only the first. If they would accept full buff damage then great, but the suggestion was a compromise for the GM's who would not.
