    Well, I have another post on Mines. I think we should be able to shoot them out of the air. We see them why can't we kill them. In the movies and books they can and we should be able to too. It is only logical to do so and another way to protect you area from other companies who are trying to hurt us or reduce our recourses. One other thing about mines. Our own clan mines should be marked (like our ships) that it is ours and won't hurt us. Like we have IFF (identify friend or foe) with the mine so it will be good to us and dad to our enemies.

    Marked mines example in minimap would actually make too much confusion. The only thing how it could be marked is a little icon above the mines. However, I strongly agree with the function that mines could be deactivated before they'll explode, but not with shooting. Instead a new technical tool could be better (or even ability).

    It would be nice if the mines were designed with the friendly/enemy sequence but this was never part of the design. Even in real life a mine does not distinguish between the 2, you know where they are set and you avoid them unless you forget. I do agree there should be a way to disarm them instead of causing damage to our ships but then that is not the design of the mines.

    Well in the movies, they send a diver out to disable them (we could have a drone to do that). The Navy also does that with UDT or now Seals. Also in the navy we have mine sweepers that clear out mine infested areas. It has a dolphin that sweep the mine and cuts' it free from its morning so it can be destroy on the surface by shooting it with small arms or larger guns. But again what Year Is This and we don't have the technology to counteract mines.

    or a EMP the EMP is normally used to destroy the electrical component of machines so if the EMP was a true EMP it would disarm the bombs and make them Useless until some undisarmed bomb blows up and chains them together...
