let your ship push friendly mines instead of mines exploding on contact (well, if an enemy comes near the mine would still blow up and probably take a chunk of ur ship with it if ur still next to it)

#

imagine shooting a ton of mines into a cargo bay and then shooting them with tbs at the enemy

#

that would be cool

#

I want mine Trebuchet!

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 8:31 AM

#

but imagine a manual huge mine cannon

#

and what would happen if it got hit

obsidian gazelle Oct 25, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

… boom?

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

big boom

molten stirrup Oct 25, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

yeah i was thinking of making a ship to yeet mines but not the old mine flingers which is not very reliable in accuracy and also the mines just take forever to arm

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

small detachable part of your ship with 4 boost thrusters that can fire mines at supersonic speeds from your cargo bay?

#

I think we will need a max mine limit per launcher

latent panther Oct 25, 2023, 8:51 AM

#

there is already a limit per launcher, since mines last 1 minute, the limit is how much mines you can launch in one minute

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 8:52 AM

#

1 minute isnt enough imo

#

wow i'm sure explosion gun 2.0 will have no balance issues

rugged pike Oct 25, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

That would be so op lol. Youd have to also implement stronger mine repulsion.

#

But that would make mines even weaker

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 10:22 AM

#

just don't make them too fast

#

so manouverability wins

paper lagoon Oct 25, 2023, 12:06 PM

#

Time to make short range shotguns

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

hell yeah

molten stirrup Oct 25, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

deep ice wow i'm sure explosion gun 2.0 will have no balance issues

shhhh dont expose my plan

#

i mean ig mines could have extra weight to them so its not so easy to just push it around, wont rly affect normal usage

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

mm

#

i wonder if it would be laggy to have that many objects with collision bumping into each other

molten stirrup Oct 25, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

hm idk cosmoteer is surprisingly low lag

#

u can shake around a ton of tiny triangle debris and its fine

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

how much are we talking?

molten stirrup Oct 25, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

idk

ionic vortex Oct 25, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

oh i got a fancy idea, imagine if there was a cargo bay full of mines and then you have a spinner (with blades) stuck in place rapid firing all the mines out

hollow solar Oct 25, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

I think the mines should activate once away from the ship and then target indiscriminately, but I'd like them to have object collisions until then and possibly have them all be affected by TBs.

molten stirrup i mean ig mines could have extra weight to them so its not so easy to just push ...

if mines get weight, there could be another type of mines :
heavyweight magnetic mines - don't explode but weight a lot and stick to ships, so ships that fly into them get slowed a lot and become more vulnerable
