Tar bomb laucher
Calico Jack:
@Plamarobo
Yes, I think you are misunderstanding me.
Firstly you should see the Warriors http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080120/, it is a cult classic.
I'm not talking about tar. While this is in a thread called the tar bomb launcher, I read that as thermobaric weapon and wrote in that vein, intending:
1) a weapon that fires a round
2) the round will explode remotely in some way - shooting at, laying another one, remote trigger
3) when it explodes it will have AoE setting fire to components if any are within reach.
Think of it like a stationary mini flamer squid that will flame anything it can reach.
I think this sounds a fun weapon as it may or may not incapacitate a ship depending on how well you use it, but then I think making a pile of mines in a choke point in Canyons is fun, I appreciate it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Finally I believe these kinds of discussions to be like fantasy footie, while I may have conversations about my dream team, I will most probably never win the World Cup. But on the very slim chance that someone walks up to me with the World Cup I will not turn it away.

This sounds eerily similar to a Incendiary Mine except without the impact/explosive damage.... imho
Calico Jack:
infact I reckoned that impact damage would be OP
RearAdmiralZill:
So you think that incendiary mines are OP?
Calico Jack:
I think a mine with a damage model 100% faithful to thermobaric bombs would be OP - namely a blast AoE followed by flame AoE.
We already have mines with blast AoE, so you could actually have both AoE by having one of each kind of mine in close proximity but at the cost of 2 weapon slots, for weapons that cannot be used to fire directly on enemies - a fair trade off
