2nd?

Unless there is a new calculation I don't understand being 2nd in this battle and losing a star...

 

If you did a little search you could figure out that if you wanted more stars from not doing as much damage. Equip a napalm or fire bomb, plain and simple!

 

It also helps to not be a mk5 shooter at 950 infamy

 

Well it is the first time I've seen stars that out of sync with damage... the only time I get 3 stars is when I double up the damage issued as compared to #2 in the match... MK4 or MK5, I hadn't a clue about napalm/firebomb star weighting.

Also, I expected a comment about my MK5 at my infamy.... I decided to save and bought one the very first chance the system would allow, so yes it's a bit out of whack but I was curious... no way to go back without switching to another boat type entirely like an MK1 enforcer... BB again does a geat job of driving behavior to where they want it to be rather than the player. It would be nice to have a "best practices" guide for this game due to all the hidden information.... I've looked for it, and I've found bits and pieces on the forums, but nothing even remotely consolidated to understand these nuances.

 

At that infamy, you can switch to an mk 2 and not get banned.

 

Lots of things I'm learning... mysterious fire bonuses, when not to upgrade a ship, that you can get banned for using a low level ship. Again, where is all this info?

 

almost every 2nd post on this forum, the fire / frost damage boost has been around since the last update and I have a feeling that will be scaled back in the next update

 

That's a secret

 

I've definitely confirmed that fire gives that extra star.... It had been a while since I had a 3 star match, but within 5 matches of using flare and napalm I got 3-stars three times.
