Yes, that's what I thought. Someone claimed on Reddit that Rocks have a hidden bonus. No confirmation that I know of.

It's still possible for a Rock to fail a roll to put out a fire. Just because a Human succeeded that time doesn't mean Rocks are worse.

I saw on the FTL subreddit that Rocks supposedly put out fires a little faster than other crew, though still slower than an Engi. Wasn't tested, though. They are slower to get to the fire, if it's in another room.

Well, I've about exhausted my knowledge on this issue. The files in FTL\resources aren't set to Read Only, are they?

Salut, ZQFMGB. Have you tried running Slipstream as an Administrator?

IMO the Vulcan is kind of a trap weapon. It's awesome when it's fully ramped up, but it needs help, because it takes ~30 sec to get going (longer if it gets taken offline, and it has to start all over). So I like to have other weapons - probably with Hacking - that can do some damage in the meantime...
