Question for you on mines. I have been notising that when an enemy lays mines i dont seem to take any damage. I have not studied the reaction for wether or not the enemy takes damage from them when other people plant them. Are they a viable weaspon to use in your ship or not worth it. I really liked the idea of mines and wanted to use them but i am afraid that they are broken currently. Anyone else have comments on them. Good or bad its nice to see the oppinions so i can formulate one of my own. Thanks everyone.

    I like using em on the back-end of my Escort. If not for other players then for blowing up the blowupable weapons thrown at you.

    They don't do much when thier shields are up but they are very useful for when thier shields are down and for those annoying little fighters.

    What he said. I used to sneer at minds, just go through them without a thought. Until the day I went through a bunch with downed shields...after respawning I realized that probably wasn't the wisest move in the world.

    Mines are also good if you see boarding shuttles heading your way, or fighters. Wonder how they handle Plasma Torpedoes?

    I love mines on my escort. Blaze a path with your cannons and drop your mines right in front of the bugger.

    never fails

    I hear theyre amazing for fleet actions. Enough so I was thinking of trying them out on a Cruiser and dropping like two on the back to see if they both fire at once or if you have to stagger them like torpedoes

    Thanks so much everyone for you responces. I have placed a set of quantom MKII on my science vessel and have been loving them greatly. I use both of the abilities that I have to bring down the shields on the enemy and lay out a string of mines and watch them blow up in one pass its great. Thanks so much for the in put I will remember to not fly threw them when my shields are down. Point noted and paied attention to.

    Live free and true.
