Flammable Tar
« on: September 30, 2013, 10:26:55 am »
No extra tools, just make tar flammable. It makes sense, and would make that stuff highly dangerous. It would be even better for separating ships because you not only have to worry about a bit of engine damage, but the possibility of someone chucking a flare into it. It would have to be a big enough explosion radius that you could jut tar and flame (with a flamer) on a junker, squid, or pyra. You'd have to use something like a flare or magma shot. A flare making contact with the tar cloud would ignite it, along with a ship taking any fire damage inside of it. So say a Banshee round is fired and hits a ship trying to make it's way through tar, boom.

Been suggested before, and my response hasn't changed. This'd make tar way OP. It's already really effective, and the results when used on certain ships would be a bit too much.

Have to agree with sundi. Tar would be op and everyship that can utilize it well with a flamer would be totally op.

This is true, tar would be more effective. Doubt it would happen. But both sides would be able to use it. Also, you are assuming the explosion would be intense, it could be minimal fire damage. Perhaps an 8 stack fire on everything. If you have your ship chemsprayed, nothing happens.

Its just the fact that every component gets fire stacks on it and you cant do much against that.
Tar is supposed as an escape tool and not a killer.

or if you are a squid pilot who uses tar to ruin someones weapons/engines so you can happily start knocking out his hull more safely :)
