I still have trace amounts of decency, you know :P

Also, It turns out that it's the same for gas grenades. After full release I will check if other incendiary and gas weapons (grenades, tripwires, flamethrower) and do the same thing (my trial has ran out).

I'd have thought that as someone so enthusiastic about flare use you'd stay quiet about it and rack up the Debris bonuses.

Thanks for the report.
