about mines (Squash /Ion /Tracker /M-AM)

Post by Killjaeden » Sat, 18. Jul 09, 18:44

TRACKER-mine
Ion-mine
M/AM-mine
SQUASH-mine

are the mines in TC
Damage is equal range seems to be equal too. They have the same explosion effect and look all the same. Behaviour is also the same.
Damage at ground zero: aprox 75K (=75MJ shields or 75k hullpoints)
Damage 500m: aprox 50K
Damage 1200m: aprox 18K
Damage 1250m: aprox 15K

They explode if a target is about 700m (beware that your cockpitposition is not the exactrange between you and the mine) away so they will never deal maximum damage if they are activated. You can deal more damage if you activate them if the target is near /remote explode it. They wont move towards the target. It takes 1-2 seconds between the explosion and the damage.

Not activated mines can be safely picked up like anything else (cargocontainer, lasertowers, sattelites). All mines in the sector can be deactivated by open the commandmenu of a mine.

If you want to create a minefield 1,75km is the minimum range between mines otherwise they will all explode if someone hits a mine.

Someone's been real lazy :roll:

So in general they do <50k damage at 750m? Some mines.
Never got to using them myself, but a cerain mission in X2 made me CURSE them.

Yep, when armed they kill anybody. Terran mines were supposed to have Friend-Foe identifier, but instead ALL the mines are exactly the SAME as it seems.

If ANY objects comes into the 700m range the mine (no difference between the 4 types) will explode.
