General:

Web mines are a special kind of space mines that can only be laid by the Crystallines. All ships with torpedo tubes owned by the Crystals can use the mission "Lay Webmines"

Like normal spacemines, web mines will damage enemy ships that hit a webmine. Web Mines Damage% = 1000 / ( the hull mass ) The difference is that a webmine hit will stop the ship (set to warp 0) and drain fuel. (50kt fuel or 1/6 of the ships fuel whatever is the greater amount)

The chance of hitting a web mine is higher then hitting a normal mine ( 5% for a web mines / 1% for a normal mine) Also cloakers have a 5% chance to hit a webmine (0,5% for a normal mine)

Host Settings for webmines:

Web mine decay rate: 5 %

Five percent of all webmines plus one additional webmine vanish from each webminefield each turn as a result of natural causes, like flying spacedebris.


Webminefield sweep rate: 3

One laser type beam on a ship will sweep three spacemines from a webminefield. Higher tech beams sweep more webmines, depending on their type


Web minefield sweep range: 0

Webmines can only be swept from within the web.
