Minefields

minefields can be created via lay mines or lay web mines mission on any ship with torpedo tubes by converting the torpedos onboard into spacemines and laying them in space as a hazard to enemy shipping activities. hitting a spacemine within a mineifeld can damage and or destroy any vessels that pass within them. minefields can be swept away via the sweep mines mission and eliminated by any ship armed with beam weapons. colonials can sweep mines using their onboard fighters on board at a greater range than beam weapons, with greater effects.

Laying minefields

Selecting your ships mission "Lay Mines" will convert your onboard torpedoes into spacemines, and propel them into space around your starships co-ordinates.

Normal Space Mines

  • Mines Laid = # torps * (torp position)^2

Crystaline Web Mines

  • Mines Laid = # torps * (torp position)^2

Minefield Size Formula

  • Mine Field Radius = sqrt(# mines)

sweeping minefields

standard minefield sweeping

  • Mines Swept = # beams * (beam position)^2 * minesweeprate

colonial Fighter minefield Sweeping
