    The fire from your napalm launcher
    The star system is a but flawed so if you use fire items (fire bomb naplam flare gun) and your teammates hit the people that are on fire you get bonus star points so probably what happened is you used your naplam better

    the % of your damage of total damaged dealt is way lower the game that you got the 1 star.

    At first - Depends on damage of other players. Secondly - How i think depends on who you healing.
    When I was playing in fleet with fixer, he mostly healing me, and I was in the top of damage. So we both received 3 stars each.

    Stars are based on contribution, not on damage or healing totals. Contribution is a much more complex thing that takes into account many ways to contribute to a battle. Everyone gets a contribution score, and the extra stars are awarded for being above the average contribution of everyone in the battle, and for being above double the average. So in the second battle you were above average, and in the first battle you were not.

    Healing contribution is a mess though, noone really knows how it works. Supposedly, you get more contribution for healing teammates who contribute a lot themselves, and less or none for healing "bad" teammates.

    Say for example you heal 1 player for 3000 hp you get 0 or 1 star and dish out little damage too. Instead of healing only one mate you heal all players for around same heal and dish out same damage you get confirm 2 stars sometimes 3 if you contribute in damage too.

    Fire bombs. They get contribution credit every time someone on their team deals (bonus damage to burning enemy) damage to a burning target from their firebombs. That one is easy.

    So the best way to get stars is to use fire bombs? o_O

    Yep, and combine it with frost launcher or flare gun if you have one. You'll almost always guaranted with 3 stars every battle with that setup, even though you deal way less damage than your teammates.
    Here's an example.

    Yeah, I made a post about it and that time the devs said it's completely normal. But later I learned that apparently the devs acknowledged that firebomb is giving too much contribution points, way more than they intended.
    There's also a speculation that it will be fixed in the next update, but it's all could be just rumors.
