Personally, I think they just like the fire effects, but the effects actually do damage.
So they want the effects, but don't want fire to not burn.

well in eve while your in structure your ship burns, like really burns, but no damage :) so since the game comes from eve shouldn't that mechanic be the same? or did the super advanced space ppl have super primitive ground assault vehicles? Since I'd think the vehicles would come before the space ships.

I know, I play EVE as well. But in EVE you can ram the sun(s) with no ill effect. In DUST you're a prick in a suit, so they may incorporate fire hazards or incendiary weapons at some point. Also, the fact that there is fire in space confuzzles me. As a miner I don't see burning ships much, but if you can see what is on fire from an external viewpoint then chances are it's already had it's atmosphere vented into space... but I digress.

REMOVE THE BLASTED FIRE DAMAGE, says my experience with armor tanking 2 builds hence. And if you won't, give shield tanks an equivalent weakness, like partial damage bleed into armor like weak shields in EVE do.

The thing is shield tanks have this prob too, armor tanks have a chance to rep it up but with shields you just bleed. Shouldn't have to suffer in shield slots to fit an armor rep just to rep armor bleeds, and ya I think it needs to be removed for both tanks.

Right, but with shield tanks you're not fighting against something that isn't being inflicted on you by another player. Shield tanks can just recover from the damage even if they have 1HP of shields left without any other interference.

Unless you hit into armor then you bleed away, ur armor tanks shield recharged over time right?

Lmfao, at terrible rates to unreliable maximums. Point is and I don't think you get it, ur shield is a buffer, shield tanks armor is a buffer, ur armor tanks shields doesn't continue to melt off then never return, but a shield tanks armor will just bleed off and die. Its def a crap mechanic.
