Cullen, It's time to break out the Birthday Cake.


Not only is fire the only damage type to be over 1x effective on more than a single ship system (besides ramming), it's pretty empowering.
Ask anyone who's crewed on my double-flamer/incendiary manticore Goldie. If we manage to lock down a ship and just set everything ablaze, I turn into something like the 21 second mark in this: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VYxh0wCrVYk#t=21s). Mild language.

Competitive? Maybe not (no, really, I have no idea, never played competitively). A nice switch from the meta? Most certainly.

Banshee front, two banshee right, gat/flak left. For the most part, we only use the right side trifecta of banshees... Fireworks galore... The enemy ship can't do anything about it. I think we might as well change the gat flak side to mercs or flamers.

You can't do it in competitive play because allies are capable and will assist. Having your ship exposed trying to kill a flamed enemy will only get you focused down. Cannot risk that against gat/flaks. In pub play you can sit there forever burning someone to death and their ally won't give a crap.

I know this will never happen, but this just gave me the image of three Squids rising up from the mist on Canyon Ambush, intercepting a formation of enemies, locking down all three simultaneously, and winning a match.

Once again, not a viable tactic, but fun to envision.

That flame Squid man.

My solution is just to not let you get close.
