Plasma Rifle > Burner

Burning the flag stand on Emerald is the single most annoying thing for a ld, and one of the worst D moves you can do.

1) it obstructs a LD's vision to the inc capper
2) It does strictly minimal damage to an inc fast capper
3) it forces the ld to move away, so no body blocking, and its harder to get the disk spam on flag off

If you are burning the flag stand, you haven't realized that its main purpose is to be used for MAing inc cappers.

I've seen a ton of cappers miss because they also couldn't see exactly where the flag was. The LD set up to BB the capper just outside my sphere of fire around the flag as well. It worked out quite nicely really.

Even had an LD BB someone INTO the fire

I still like the idea of giving the burner its own energy pool instead of using your jet's.

not a bad idea. a burner with an epack - as long as the jets are innactive -- will never run down. the recharge rate of the epack is greater then or equal to the discharge of the burner.
