A question about the Cloaked Tractor Mines...

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I know I can't use the "mine dispersal" abilities for the Breen cluster torpedo, however, I was wondering if I can use them with the new cloaked tractor mines?

Has anyone tried this yet?

PS: Where can we find the "dispersal pattern alpha" ability?

    The reason dispersal patterns can't be used with the Breen torpedo is because the weapon is a torpedo, not a mine. So yes it should work with the cloaked tractor mines because that weapon is a mine. However I haven't tested it so I can't guarantee that.

    I believe you can teach dispersal pattern alpha at the bridge officer trainer on ESD.

    Sorry, I was asking about the level 3 version of dispersal pattern alpha.

    That would be completely the priveledge of a tactical officer fully specced into mines and mine dispersal patterns. Why would you want to sepend such a valubale tactical BO slot on that though? There isn't much difference between the ranks YET to justify it.

    yes all dispersal pattern work, I saw a B'rel running around droping tractor EVERYWHERE!!!

    I dont know what pattern he used but it was a huge sphere with about 15-20+ mines and 10km circle of all mines spread out and around.

    It looks like it would work good until you find a Anti spm ship like me =), pvp premades are the only groups that can use this effectively and pve players

    Do you know his name ? :rolleyes:
    I think it done against the players. Seriously, I've never seen it in Capture And Hold. Use 5 mines at once, that's enough.
