Split tar into two tools?

(1/2) > >>

Omniraptor:
Just a simple possible change to accommodate multiple use-cases, and draw a kerosene/moonshine parallel.

Have one tool be the 'weak tar' (please someone give it a decent name) that does low self-damage and no shatter damage to other components. The purpose is concealment/stealth.
Other possible characteristics:
- they're closer in color to natural clouds, more stealthy
- the emitted clouds are bigger than regular tar
- the clouds are less dense- they rise and/or move with the wind
- can be burned away by flares.


The proper tar would be closer to what we have now, intended for concealment in combat and damage.
It would have intense self-damage and lots of shatter damage to other components.
Other possible characteristics:
- delay before emitting clouds and/or hydrogen-style lingering damage after tool is switched off
- the clouds are more dense- they sink and/or are unaffected by wind
- the clouds can extinguish flares is a cloud is placed around a flare


Super-crazy idea- the weak tar inherits the ship's initial speed. Maybe a third tool?

Omniraptor:
Any thoughts on speed-inheriting tar? I want to be able to point at a puff and say, "that's no cloud..."

Queso:
It's an interesting idea, but would probably be hell to deal with the interactions with the weather system.

pandatopia:
Oh, a cloaking device "tar" that generates a moving cloud that goes with your ship?

That would be so awesome.
