Update 1.2:
Scorch items will now appear on enemy ships and in random loot events if AE is enabled.
Increased rarity of weapons.
This is a simple mod for pyromaniacs who want a little more setting-things-on-fire in their spaceship game.
The mod adds 3 weapons and 1 combat drone based around super-hot plasma weaponry which excel at crippling vital systems and killing crew.
These should appear in any store or random event, with medium to high rarity.

Uses the standard .ftl structure and should be compatible with any other mods.
Tested and runs correctly on Slipstream
The Weapons
All Plasma Weapons include:
100% Fire Chance
Double crew damage
Scorch Shot Laser
A basic, single-shot weapon for dealing damage and starting fires. Hot end points at enemy.
Used by everyone.
Scorch Flak Mark I
Fires 2 molten globs with a tighter spread than a normal Flak I. It's a scary gun to look down the barrel of.
Used by Rock, Federation, Zoltan, and Lanius.
Scorch Flak Mark II
Rains hellfire on the enemy, in the form of 5 burning balls of pain with the power to instakill crew and turn rooms to ash.
Used by Rock and Lanius.
Anti-Ship Scorch Drone
A modified combat drone that shoots plasma and will quickly turn a spaceship into an oversized oven, provided no shield is in the way.
Used by Engi.
This mod is especially fun to use with the Chicxulub custom ship, as the fire immune Rock boarding party has great synergy with crew-killing and fire-starting weaponry.
