Do you like it when things burned? Would you like if they burned better?
Squidslinger Gilder:
Yeah I've chemmed mobulas that were under a constant assault with flames. Just one on the balloon was enough to keep the ship alive and unable to be killed until allies arrived to relieve it.
Part of that problem is due to the insanely long buff time of Chem. 20 sec? Come on. Think it should return to it's original -40% chance of ignition if your putting a buff on that lasts that long.
Against standard flamer there is just no point in not chemming. But Shees....now those are different stories. Just one can eventually overwhelm a ship. Plus there is the burst effect. Takes time but it can do it simply by the extra explosive dmg. Add 2 of them into the mix and it becomes worse. 3 can be a nightmare.
RearAdmiralZill:
Think this belongs in the gameplay thread, but Ill let the OP decide.
The last time we buffed banshees, it was a mess. I think it's just getting overshadowed by other guns right now (ie. arty) because it really does do what it's designed to. Sets fires, provides explosive damage, and easy to shoot rockets.
All of that said, even I can agree with 6 instead of 8 stacks for guns to boot people off. That's a small enough change that I wouldn't imagine requiring heatsink ammo like the old days, but it'll be a better option to consider.
Captain Smollett:
By all means Zill, feel free to please move this to gameplay.
Much appreciated.
You think by now I'd know where to post.
Crafeksterty:
Mhh... Maybe i actualy agree here, but poeple mostly talk about getting booted out of a gun.
For that, just lower the stacks of fire it rquiers for the gunner to be booted.
Which may cause gunners or engineers to bring heatsink as an ammo type if they are up against fire.
Right now were at 8 stacks of booting a gunner off?
How does 6 stacks sound? 5?
Queso:
Having flown a squid a ton, and having run crew on some ships with flame and incendiary ammo some more today, I would agree that it takes a ridiculous amount of actual flame to kick someone off a gun. With a squid I can't rely on not being fired upon even after sticking the flame against guns for a good long time.
