    Two uncommon flare gun in 2k infamy and that bastard got 3 stars. That is a serious liability and the game keeps on giving them stars which promotes this kind of stuff. While shooters are busting their ass beating down the enemy ships a speeder lits ship on fire and does less than 1k damage and gets 3 stars. Is it really fair? Speeders spamming flare gun and shooter spamming fire bomb can be prevented by creating a damage barrier like less than 10% overall damage should be prevented from getting 3 stars.

    Lol, my guess is that besides setting people on fire for you, he also did a lot of disraction. But to get that many stars with so little dmg means that the bonus dmg was several thousand.

    At some degree you might be right. The target on flare was focus fired but I have problem with the guy using uncommon tier 1 flare gun. If he is going to spam flare gun at 2k infamy then it is a common courtesy to buy a rare one or use evolved one. And it was lucky that we won because had a speeder spotted him, he would have been long dead leaving us with even less firepower. Bottom line is spamming for own benefit is wrong and spamming weapons incapable of dealing a respectable amount of damage based on infamy is inexcusable.

    See this Screenshot_20170815-234626.jpeg I got 3 stars because targets I froze got huge damage. It depends on contribution if I would have frozen single target and dealt 3000k damage I would have gotten 1 or 2 stars.

    Respectable amount of damage?
    Let's say ur cannon does 1000 damage, but if targets on fire it does 1800 damage....the guy that out him on fire gave ub800 more damage....i think that should count as his respectable damage

    Except it's not less than 10% because he buffed damage for all the 8 cannons on your team. And for uncommon guns to do 750 fire damage, that's a lot of enemies lit multiple times, for bonus damage. So yeah fire contribution is way more valuable than you make it out to be.
    I don't think he would be getting 3 stars if let's say your team was running all torpedoes.

    I don't have a problem with napalm coz it is a map control weapon and has huge impact on team separation and focus fire. But flare gun doesn't work like that. It just buffs cannons and our team just happen to use a lot of cannon setup.

    Exactly. What if the team was full of players with mortars and torps setup? In that case he would have just be a liability. On top of that, tier 1 uncommon flare gun is just rude to use.

    Personally, I believe that if you have something capable of team support, do it. However, you shouldnt do it at the risk of being a pure support. I personally DO use fixer, but if bad goes to worse, I have enough blast cannon firepower to send my target to the next dimension. At my infamy, that is.
    So, if you have a support weapon that helps your team gain damage, by all means, you deserve a pat on the back. However, if it ends up being a liability, you also deserve ALL the hate. As some players call it, "High risk, high reward."
    My opinion? If you are gonna do it, do NOT rely on your team alone and have a little insurance for close combat at least.

    Well that's just his problem. There's nothing wrong with the star calculation, it's just person being a dick.

    I dont exactly disagree with you, but, as a team player, I can RECOMMEND, right? I recommend that he keeps some heat on him if things get hairy.

    That's his choice...i got alot of hate running 3x napalm...well not exactly hate but ppl basicly calling me a idiot cuz I'm useless if I'm 1v1....but I tell ya....not very often am I left 1v1...and if I am I can still do alot of damage with 3 napalms that push out around 100 damage a tick. If i do good at supporting my team we burn them down befor it gets to a 1v1

    If you think about it, everything has fire or frost boost but there's nothing to boost railguns. They should do bonus damage on stationary targets. The carnage would be legendary.

    I was once a four torpedo guy. I feel dat. But I also believe that it is okay for training or breaking in a weapon. If you learn napalm, you can really change up the way you play. I posted this one before, but there is a napalm smokescreen you might wanna look into. Use your napalms(two) to cloak your torpedoes. Makes you an efficient long to mid range combatant... Might help your style more than four napalms.
