Fire is just an oxidizing agent. Theoretically there are others.

Guggling I found this:

Quote:
Fire is two different substances that really like each other, in the act of "falling together" as fast as they can. Water is a very stable substance made of two hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, strongly stuck together. If you pull them apart and put all the hydrogens in one place and all the oxygens in another, Then they could have a fire if they are allowed to get back together again.

Other kinds of atoms can have a fire, too. Lithium metal plus fluorine gas make an abnormally strong fire. Fortunately there is not much of either one around here.

I'm still seeing the word "oxygen." Anyway, what about some permanent damage. This, I think, would be right up the minmntar's ally. After so many battles with the same ship, you start see old battle scars. It gives the ships more identity and not just the throwaway hulls we have today.

CCP wish list: show damage on ships and open that door!
