Also, back on topic maybe? What would a new fire weapon do? Besides, y'know, be used by cake.
A fire-piercing damage combo might be cool, same with a fire flechette. Or fire-shatter. Fire-explosive would probably be able to solo ships a bit too well, because with the fire you could take out armor pretty well.
What if it changed damage types as the magma cooled, so at very close range it did incredibly high amounts of fire damage and lots of fire charge, but as the range increased, it would turn into a good AOE shatter weapon or something? I really have no idea how something like that could work, but a arming time changing the actual damage type of a weapon would be extremely cool.
