Hmmm.... you make an excellent point linkus... oh well. it looked good to start with
like i keep being told:
*players forget to think in 3D*
unless anyone wants to make a smaller quicker mine layer, maybe as an escort craft (id like to see them follow with a pile of mines in their faces) i think this ship is out.
perhaps there is a ship already built that could fill this role with a few more mine launchers added to it?

How about a mine that launches 15-30 "mines" at the same time?
this could be used on a minelayer, require huge amount of power and they could deal quite the damage.
but personally I would rather see that as a replacement for capital ship carriers and those mines acting as light fighters scrambled.
Great tracking, moderate damage, huge power use, shield dropping upon using them and 120 in hold. Very expensive as well.

wow. that comment now has the image of a kusari carrier firing out waves of kamikaze ships that fire a small volley of shots before barreling into their target
could a weapon be made to actually fire small ships? this would finally make carriers make sense. They could fire smalll volleys of shots before homing bck to the tubes that launched them, on contact they disappear, the collision with the tube does 0 damage.
if it is possible to make projectiles fire bullets of their own, that could open the way to ships that can drop auto turrets. Now that id like to see........

It's pretty impossible to make smart AI crafts that will fly on their own, unless a carrier can simply spawn an NPC squad, but they would do jack.
basically yes, the problem is that they can crash back to you, but the risk is out there, and it would be a prototype used to get bombers off your back, not to hurt other capships
Or you just invent the Minelayer as something that launches a mine that is unable to move at all.
Said mine has a base health many times greater than its explosion damage, so in terms, it can explode many times.
You then enjoy planting mines around places.
Give it a reasonable CD, a long life time, don't make it cost ammo as nobody will ever use it unless its in extreme situations.
Problem solved.

Correct. You could deal with this by making every piece of ammo take up cargo space, but that's a far more complex solution. Energy-based mines would probably be best here... but I'm not sold on this ship being anything more than flying CD bait. To make "bombing runs" on larger targets would make you explode, and fighters would just evade you and make you blow yourself up.
That is why I am voting for the gigantor minefield ship.
It's much more plausible, and for SRP, has alot of utility.

The thing that linkus mentioned still applies... they will just go around them, but i guess as an SRP ship it may work as a deterrent for invading forces.
nice idea on the semi-permanent mines, like the large ancient ones, except they die after a certain amount of explosions
im unsure of this ship now, it has uses but also downsides, wed have to find something that fits the gap in the middle for this to be useful
