Web Minefields

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

Like normal space mines, 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. or from up to 100 lyrs away by Colonial fighters.
