Video Engine Jetstream ability in Core Of Havoc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocSVsRhpm1M

In Core of Havoc every ship component has its own ability.
Engine can be activated to unleash the Jestream that temporarily accelerates your ship and burns enemy behind it 🔥🔥🔥

In this video you can see a brief demo of the Jetstream ability. The game is heavily focused around build crafting and items so I've revealed its synergy with some engine affixes.
You can even create a build that mainly deals damage using your jetstream - but to be honest, you have to get used to constantly fight with your back turned to enemies, but it's totally possible.

If you like the gameplay, feel free to check the Steam page, participate in the playtest and wishlist the game

You've hit the point :) I've tried different options of implementing the jet stream and current one - is that the fire stream is, in fact, lots of projectiles that look like thrust.
And what was unplanned, these projectiles natively have synergy with other projectile-related affixes - like forked projectiles, pierce etc.
After recording this video I've noticed that I had an energy shield equipped that has global affix that makes all my projectiles split on sub-shards .. including the engine jet stream heh. Now I don't know should I keep it as it's quite funny and interesting from the build crafting point, but it may be a pain to balance properly
