Do ticks of burning count toward the damage limit of Tesla Shield?

    As in, if you get a flare shot or fire bomb in before the shield goes up, is it better to wait for some ticks to have a better chance for your next weapon shot to bring it down?

    I don't think you can get bonus fire damage on TS shield if it's user is on fire.

    A direct firebomb, napalm or flare shot are the only ways the fire weapons impart damage to the shield.

    If the ship is on fire before the shield goes up, the ship takes the burn damage, not the shield.

    A fire bomb shot that lands outside of the shield but sets the ship on fire will also not count toward shield damage.

    I think burn damage from a napalm patch does not affect the shield, but I'm not 100% certain of this.

    Correct, a Tesla-Shielded ship sailing through Napalm will take direct hull damage, and will not lose shield HP. Don't miss the fireball if you're trying to catch it. ;)

    Also correct, shields aren't affected by frost/fire/crit bonuses, so save your Sniper rounds for when it breaks.

    Also, there's a little bug that I've seen(pre-update, however, I tend not to catch napalm, because if I'm in a position to catch it, it usually means I'm in the wrong position and/or the shooter of the napalm is a noob)...

    The napalm looks like it deployed... However it was blocked and causes no damage.

    Speaking of napalm, I once saw some invisible napalm. Weird shit. It's only once. Probably went blind right at that moment lol
