Repair Bots and Fire

[Red-Rocket]

Seriously Fire is a useless weapon when those bots can insta take them out. Lets have Hellfire missiles play a better role, require fire extinguishers like in main loading screen, and kill people currently using a console...as in disconnect them as well. debris disconnect would be slightly OP but fire im all for!


FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Repair bots can.

I do have to agree that the threat of fires isn't that big right now. They're a nice way to implement a pseudo-obstacle on the ships, but the duration of fires is often minimal, and since you can easily run through them without dying (so long as they aren't stacked close to each other) they aren't that impactful. The random explosions and actual debris are a much bigger threat by far.

I don't necessarily think that's wrong however. Not all obstacles can be stupidly powerful. Making repair kits not fix fire might not be a bad idea, but not all obstacles should be overly difficult to bypass.

"Here at Energesine industries we issue compartments for quick and easy access to our patented and top of the line Pyromantite Fire extinguishers for use of the crew! putting fire out...with fire! with our pyromantite compounds mixed in with our solutions! what could possibly go wrong?Experimental, not proven to put out fires in emergencies, another method suggested is opening airlocks so that the vacuum of space can suck all that fire out, just make sure to hold on tight!

sounds like something you'd find in a fallout...

or.. keep having the repair kits put out fires, but make the fires permanent until cleared with a repair kit, and have them keep damaging the hull for as long as they burn

[Red-Rocket]

definitly need hulls damaged by fire

[Caladbolg]

or fire spreading if not taken care of

neither debris, hull fire, or infiltration shooting you out of a console will disconnect you from the console automatically.
although it is annoying if you exit a console and find yourself dead and you cant re-enter the console.

Infiltration definitely should be able to kick you off a console, and fires could as well so firing a bunch of hellfire to disable a well shielded BC is viable and forces people to use firesuits.

Debris probably not unless the debris pushes you off the console completely.
