Rifts is a game that can easily be abused, largely because of the
hundreds of character classes that have nothing in common. There is no
common limit as for SR because you can play creatures like dragons.

As for the tank/blaster issue: Rifts takes place in the year 2389. If you
are driving your 20th century tank around, you should be able to be blown
to pieces in almost any system. A tank manufactured in the 24th century
will have hundreds of mega-damge points.
