    with lance available in assembly on a permanent basis I believe it necessary to develop a defense. A chip so that mines could be targeted with lasers or a chip for drone installation allowing the drone to "TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM THERE ZUES" or possibly a pet gear for minesweeping. Take your pick.

    or a chip to make the ship 'invisible' to mines? make it not set them off, like the pet does. easier on the devs to just move something they already made
     
  3. with lance available in assembly on a permanent basis the lances s useless no one uses it even if they have it it increases mine dmg so noob pusants would use it its not useful in a 1v1 or 1v3 so.

    yes it is, someone with mine bio, and that, could single handedly defend a base. and instantly pop anyone with a ddm

    Mines I wish i could use them popped myself the other day trying :D ha

    On a serious note is the centaur a good buy at 55K uri for basicly a PVE player

    mines are a strategic tool, and can be a devastating weapon in the hands of someone that knows how to use them, add in lance with bio your talkin nearly 250k of direct hull damage. I doubt that DO would smurf the mines with a mine avoidance chip, although that does bring to mind another idea. STEALTH MINES muhahahahaha. Then we really would need some type of defensive system to counter them. Even in real day tech there are countermeasures to every weapon system, DO does need to develope a defensive system for us to use now that mines have been made more strategically viable. The centaur is now in assembly so seriously consider whether you want to spend the 55k uri. Kinda urks me, just purchased a goli pack, the next week or two DO puts the centaur in assembly and i receive a fortress in booty. Glad i didnt buy the lance design a week or two ago. (on the surface sounds like squirrelly marketing on DO's part. HMMMMM !!!!)
     
  7. Or you could prevent players from defending the CBS by being cloaked and dropping your arsenal of mines around it and be strong enough that 2 mines pop a ship back to base. On us2 I was defending our CBS and an enemy came along and set mines on the base, the damage from 2 of these popped me I spot repaired and landed on another and was sent to my company base instead of the CBS. I do not know if he had lance formation, as this was a year ago, but it took a UFE to come along and take the damage from the mines to clear them for us, and he had to repair himself after 3-4 of these mines, but 15 minutes later all mines were removed. But these mines delivered 90K damage each.
     
  8. There is already a chip that prevents you from hitting mines.

    Insta-shield.
     
  9. U still get hit but u dont take dmg.
     
  10. Well that's the point of Insta-shield.
