A group of refugees from the far ends of the sector fleeing from their opressors in their own solar system. Peacefully roaming across space, trying to find a new home.
Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
I've been working on some sprites.trolling are we?
honestly, I don't see it....
what role exactly would it serve?
Maybe lasers are better in a way, but think about the possibilities of fire as a weapon of mass destruction.
Ummm... No?
The idea of fire as a weapon of mass destruction in space is kind of silly. The amount of hull space one would have to dedicate to packing up a worthwhile volume of space at a density that would do anything noticeable to a warship even at the sort of (preposterously low, realistically speaking) ranges Starfarer operates at is staggering, and that's before even getting into the issues of dissipation rates. If you wanna blow 20 OP for a single-shot device that does 10 damage to everything in about a screen's worth of space around your ship (and I'm probably being generous here), knock yourself out. Me, I stick to... Oh, pretty much anything else.
Granted, the Fractal Softworks folks aren't exactly making a hard scifi game here, but they do still pay at least lip service to plausibility so I have a feeling that fire cloud weapons will remain confined to mods.

When you said that I immediately thought of the fire charm in Diablo 2 that creates a huge line of insane fire
