No... I promise you, that is not how that works

Sammy B. T.:
We all have plenty of stories of players fundamentally misunderstanding various aspect of the game. While I don't celebrate mocking the ignorant, there will always be those that just refuse to be taught. This is a place for compiling stories about those people, people that allow good advice to fall on deaf ears. This is not a place to laugh at a new player bringing burst for a chain gun, this is a place to laugh at a player that can't be dissuaded from bringing burst and argues passionately for it. Ya dig? No names but please give levels.

I'll start.

A bit ago I had a player who brought moonshine, kerosene, and phoenix claw. I was inquiring about this (it wasn't CP and we were on a mobula) and he decided to describe to me the tools.

Phoenix buffs turn speed for no damage
Kerosene buffs turn speed more for some damage
Moonshine (correct) increases speed, reduces turns, much damage.

I tried explaining to him several times how he was wrong about Kero and Phoenix, but he kept on insisting on his distinction and after many calls for "Doing a kerosene turn" I had to shut this down. I went back to a turn engine and asked him to leave Phoenix on for a bit. As he watched as the engine died he yelled at me for sabotaging his engines and he promptly left the game.

Level 6 pilot.

Keon:
Ahh yes, the classic Engineer tool, the "Chainsaw": Deals 60 dps to all engines. You thought you could trick him, did you, Sammy? Stop trolling these poor innocent pilots. :P

HamsterIV:
I have had the same experience with new pilots not knowing Phoenix burnt engines. It makes sense why kerosine and moonshine damages engines since they are fuel additives but "Lucky Chicken Foot" doesn't seem to carry the same connotation. I don't like it when new pilots burn their engines constantly and call it their "flying style." If they keep it on long enough I announce that I am "going on strike" and let the engines burn out. It is better that a new pilot learn that always on kerosine is a bad idea before they make contact with the enemy than to discover they just destroyed their engines because the main engineer was to busy keeping the hull up.

Dementio:
Burst Gatling does actually more damage per clip than greased... with no range reduction...

Alistair MacBain:
Maybe but you will probably loose the instagib ability.
I know there is a way to nearly outrepair a greased gatling (~3 shots left at hullbreak with perfect aiming). I could imagine that the reduced rate of fire from burst would make this a sure counterrepair.
