BEHOLD, FIRE! First off, no. It's only half-serious, but really excellent as an ambush build since you can sneak on enemies already under fire and flame them into rapid shutdown, while you then proceed to nuke their backs. Personally I'm not a fan of SRM or SSRM builds, cuz I suck with them, but this was entertaining if only because of the amount of fire involved. PS, haven't done any research on flamers so it could be possible that flamer effects only stack so many times and that I'm wasting tonnage.
flamers stack but only heat up to a certain point (i think 90%) more flamers heats them up faster as well as yourself exponentially.
Ahh, thanks. I suppose 2 of the flamers could be one ERML or SPL, too. Maybe take a ton of ammo out for two lasers.
With any of my flamer mechs I usually cap it at 2, it ramps up quick enough in brawls. that way you can go like 3 smalls for back up and like an extra heatsink or even just a few more heatsinks If I were to run this personally, it would look something like this: or
Gotcha, I like the first variant there, although having the Artemis on SRM4s is also a good idea. It's too bad it caps at 90%, but I suppose it would be a bit ridiculous if you could build a mech that would cause shutdowns and core damage without even resorting to other weapons. Regardless, thanks for the tips and alts, I'll be giving them a try!
90% is still pretty crippling for anyone who wants to brawl you, can't fire any weapons while you're unloading missiles in their face! Even looks to be mildly effective instead of just troll because of the sheer burst.
