My medusa with dual phase beams killed a Buffalo MK2, and I randomly decided to shoot at it. To my surprise, I noticed that the engines on the dead hulk of the MK2 would actually flame out normally (or at least display the effect of flaming out) if hit by the EMP effect of the Phase Beam.

I don't know if this occurs elsewhere.

Strange, can't reproduce with Phase Beam or Ion Cannon.

Maybe the flameout was induced before the Mk2 was destroyed. How long after it's dead did the flameout occur? It can take a few seconds sometimes.

[hadesian]

Nah, it had been dead for at least a minute.
I'll try to reproduce

[hadesian]

Strange, now I can't reproduce it.
Going to try something.

[hadesian]

I've got a theory that if the buffalo still has armour then it'll work, but I'm still trying to reproduce the effect

[hadesian]

AHA!
Reproduced but it eludes me on how this works.

Bigger ships are easier to show it on mainly because when they blow up they leave more armor sections alive.
