Have you considered switching to Starfinder.
No full attacks (and with a -4 to hit if you want to attack twice).
Plus you get the added bonus of being able to push everyone off kilter if you have a jet pack and are fighting in zero-g conditions.

You'd think so, but, so far, that seems to be entirely opposite of how it susses out in actual play.
(Might have something to do with a compressed-to-sixth-level spell list, and stronger limits on what casters can accomplish with those spells.)

I dunno, melee is still fun, you're just not going to obliterate everything in one hit is all (to be fair, they won't obliterate you if you don't obliterate it in one hit either).

I will tell you both that, from what I gather from the SF forums, melee is one of the most successful over-all combat styles, but doesn't tend to eliminate combats (nor do casters, over-all, though, of course, some 'staples' that could are still present; it just helps that most martial-types have good will saves).

They used to send secret shoppers in to analyze brute squad (because we don't technically sell anything they struggle with figuring out ways to evaluate us).

Freehold's call to McDonald's customer service.
Freehold: Um yes, I'd like to return my McRib.

Language is interesting, especially when you use cunning tricks to make multiple points.
*cough*
But, uh, in this case, there are several possible interpretations.
1) The non-standard use of language was what you seemed to imply that I was saying. That is, he used a passive voice to suggest his desire for <CARNAL RELATIONS>* with the McRib. This was not my intent, but fair enough. It also isn't wrong, despite being non-standard.
2) The standard use of language that implies the McRib has a desire and actively opts towards <CARNAL RELATIONS>*. This was one of two possible things I was trying to imply.
3) The standard use of language that implies that the McRib being discussed is a device for the purpose of <CARNAL RELATIONS>*.
There may be other interpretations, but... language amirite?

EDIT 1: Mostly just for the habit/consistency at this point.

Ah, chemistry, you wonderful and vagrant mistress!
So, the whole purpose of curry paste is to soak your quickly-perishing spices (I'm looking at you, cinnamon and black pepper!) in a sea of salt and oil to trap the flavor for eternity. I recall one of the dojo members on a low-sodium diet looking in horror at the 4500 g of sodium in my run-of-the-mill curry, ignoring the fact that that was going in with 3 pounds of meat, 3 pounds of potatoes, 3 pounds of tomatoes, a pound of onions, a pound of peas, and a couple cups of liquid. If you eat THAT much curry at a single sitting, it's not the sodium you need to worry about!
Anyway, the point is, curry paste should be eternal -- the salt and oil is supposed to prevent the chemical breakdown of the other seasonings.
But I've been using Patak's for many, many years now, and I thought their vindaloo paste had gone seriously downhill, as the last few times I used paste that was 2-3 years old and the vindaloo came out... poorly.
This time I used fresh vindaloo paste bought just a couple of weeks ago, and the result was phenomenal.
So as is SO typical in Indian cuisine, what was originally a preservation mechanism seems to have turned into a flavor mechanism, and in the process lost its preservative capabilities.
Fascinating stuff!

I also got a job for December. It's been very hard to live on student grants alone so it's a welcome opportunity to get some extra money, even though it's night shift work again.

During high school I got tired of hearing four-letter words -- I've become a lot more tolerant of them since then, but anyway -- so when I heard that one I'd deflate it by saying:
"F@%*ing [noun]: Fuh-king [noun pronunciation]. A [noun] used specifically for the purpose of f+*+ing."
So naturally I immediately went the route of Tacticslion's #3 upon reading Freehold's comment.

Well you won't one-hit things in PF either, unless you're a crazy good crit-happy barbarian or something. Hence why it was so important to get access to pounce or some other way of moving and full-attacking in the same round.

Actually its exactly the opposite. You add your level to weapon damage of each attack (starting at 3rd level). Fighter soldier and solarian get three attacks at higher levels, rogue operative gets four but finesse operative weapons only add half the level to damage. High level weapons can deal up to 14d8 melee or 12d10 damage heavy ranged (though much more likely is 5d12 for pistol and 12d8 for rifle), plus class bonuses which can reach +5 to +10.
Both spellcasting classes have 6 levels of spells. The damage spells don't scale with level (though they scale with spell level, . Because ability score increase is much harder (max 18 at 1st level, +1 at levels 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th, and max +6 from augmentations to one ability score, +4 to another, and +2 to third, which caps max ability score at 20th level to 28), the saving throw DC does not reach the ridiculous levels of Pathfinder.
In Starfinder, spellcaster wanting to deal damage, he is very likely to pull out a pistol and shoot... Yeah, low level spells deal more damage than most weapons but they are spent more quickly than batteries in weapons.

The more I read about it the more Starfinder sounds like a completely different system with only vestigial similarity to Pathfinder. Given the entire point of going with PF for me and my group was to avoid having to learn a new system and still being able to make full use of most of our old content from 3.5, this is not reassuring.

What I wanted from Starfinder was a game that could have a wizard in the same party with a fighter pilot, and a paladin fighting side by side with a Jedi. To set expectations.

PF two-handed wielders at 1st level usually are one-hit wonders (2d6+6 vs. average 5-10 hp of creatures with CR in 1/3-1/2). Fighting a full CR 1 opponent is a less, well, swingy, with their expected hit points of 15... Still possible though with buffs and Power Attack or simply a good roll. It doesn't look likely in Starfinder with lower initial damage.

The majority of it is still here, there is more similarities than differences, and you can easily use a lot of old material (especially if you worry less about exact CR of monster and rely on eyeballing it you can use them as they are) though effects could be occasionally unpredictable when it comes to balance.
