Burn it all!   BURN!

But seriously, I have nothing to add, just really wanted to post that, and say the guys above likely got it all right.

-Muse- Cullen:
Using incendiary ammo will increase the chance of fire ignition. It also gets a small boost of damage to all systems but the armor of the ship.

Incendiary is a terrible ammo type to use on the flamer. Sure, it increases the ignition chance, but it's already high enough as it is. Its side effects include lowering the muzzle speed (and therefore shortening the already bad range) and reducing the clip size. Two negatives for a questionable benefit. If you want to increase the chance of ignition you're better off using greased to get more particles per second and a larger clip size, with no detriment to range.

The Churrosaur:
Or lesmok for surprisingly greater range.

Lesmok is the obvious ammo type for the flamer. However, that wasn't the point.
