Do tar-clouds (and incidentally, gas mortar rounds) stack?

Actually 225%
(100% base damage + 125% lochnar. I know, its a bit confusing, but that's how it's implemented)
Hmm maybe you are right. Though I'd like to test whether the size of the cloud is affected (it should, I guess).
Nikola Brackman:
If I remember right, burst affects the damage field but not the visual effect. So firing a burst gas cloud means it can hit ships that are not visibly in the cloud.
I'd expect loch to do the same thing: the visual effect will remain the same size, but the damage zone will only be the inner 50%.
Daft Loon:
I vaguely recall that gas mortar clouds were allowed to stack their damage during one of the betas/alphas but they don't seem to now.
Just did some testing and with how massively over nerfed the gas mortar is using lochnagar is kinda pointless, I shot 2 sequential Lochnagar-Cataclysm rounds at a target dummy and nothing broke, it took a third 'normal' lochnagar round to get parts to start breaking.
Incendiary is still probably the way to go, it gets a lot of hits and the gun even has an existing fire chance (for some reason).

Did you stack your clouds, or re-apply the 3 clouds after the previous vanished?
Daft Loon:
Re-applied them after the previous vanished (inevitable really with the rebuild time from using lochnagar).
