Pyrotechnics
Description |
You jus' gotta ignite your foe 'n' make 'em glow. Choose your ammo 'n' make 'em blow. 'Cuz, baby, you're a firework. Reload 'n' let your Hwachas burst. Make 'em all cry, cry, cry as you shoot 'em from the sky, sky, sky.

What makes this special? |
The available weapons excel at disabling components and setting fires but are poor at stripping armor. The available ammunition serves to amplify these qualities. Plus, this is a celebratory rule set, so deal with it.

Tips and Strategies |
It's easy to set fires and disable components with this rule set, but stripping the armor is difficult... however, once the armor is finally down, the situation is dire for the affected ship. So do you prioritize disabling enemy weapons or repairing the damage they inflict? Every shot and swing counts. Your decision will likely result in either the enemy's or your vessel exploding.
Focusing your ship's weapons on one target to chip away at the armor and disable their components is a sound strategy, but spreading fire to provide your allies with assisting disables is also viable. Let your crew know what weapons they will be firing so they can choose which of the three available ammo types is the best fit. And if you grow impatient with tanking enemy crews, ramming them is a tempting way to effectively strip their armor, especially if your allies focus on that target once the hull is exposed. |
