This would be a real bomber.
These mines would just be bombs in my view:)
I like the idea.
If you need need developing new weaps + blast effects conact me.
(look in my profile, msn is best for it:P)
EDIT:
' Wrote:a mine that hurts capships - its not so much about damage, but about damage radius. - a nova torpedo with its rather big radius can hardly hurt even a liners shields. - a juggernaut / RH BB / nomad BB / outcast DN - etc is practicly immune to those explosives, cause their shield hardpoint is simply too far away.
increasing the radius can be suicide though - come to think of it ... a supernova is deployed with a momentum of 200 + 55 ms - and still the bombers usually blow up. - a mine with even a larger radius would prolly be more dangerous.
now the good thing is - you can make the ammo cost 100000000 credits, cause any minelayer will only need 1 mine, cause he won t be able to deploy more anyway - cause he ll lack a hull by that time.
a mine can also be devastating in anti fighter combat then. - often mines are not blown up cause they actually collide with anything - but they blow up cause the minelayer fires a train CD into them - and a huge blast radius would simply consume anything.
A Supernova makes no blast radius:)
I think you mean Nova-torp.
This torp is..umm...very devastating. Very painful if you cant handle them due to the 100m explosion range.
