Gravitonic Minefield
From PlanetsWiki
Contents |
[edit] Overview
The Gravitonic Minefield will stop hyperjumping movement and cause hull & hyperjump engine damage to ships passing through them. * Gravitonic Minefields will stop all hyperjumping movement, including the owner of the minefield.
- Only when these minefields are cloaked or not active will anyone be able to hyperjump through them.
- A hyperjump cannot be initiated from within a Gravitonic Minefield, even one that you own.
- The effect of stopping hyper jumps can be disabled by a Gravity Rift Generator or from ships using their Gravity Well Defuser.
- Gravitonic Minefields will not stop a Warp Chunnel.
- Setting a gravitonic minefield to cloaked will not make it harder to be swept.
[edit] Damage done during Movement
Hitting a Gravitonic Minefield causes damage to a ships's hull and hyperdrive (The chances of hitting a Gravitonic Minefield are 2.6 times as likely compared with a Barbitic Minefield).
Hull Damage = ( 100 / Hull Mass ) * (RND (1 to 10) + 20) Hyperdrive Damage = Hull Damage * ( 1.8 + RND (0 to .5) )
- Ships with mass 500kt or more will get their hull damage (an thus also their hyperdrive damage) divided by 5.
- Wings will lose (fighterCount * Rnd) from each fighter Type and have a 2% chance of losing their High Guard.
[edit] Damage done during Detonation
Gravitonic minefields cause damage to ship engines and hyperdrives when they detonate. A 100kt ship takes 10% engine damage, larger ships take less damage to their engines. Hyperdrive engines take 10% damage from detonating Gravitonic minefields no matter what their mass is.
Engine Damage = 1000 / (Hull Mass + 1) Hyperdrive Damage = 10
- No damage to wings.
- No damage to pods.
- No damage to minefields.
- No sensor image increase.
[edit] Racial Adjustments
- The Rebels have a reduced ability to scan for and detect Gravitonic Minefields.
- The Privateer Bands have only 1/8 the normal odds of scanning and detecting any minefield.
- The UEA Gravitonic Minefields will cause 25% system damage too all ships (including their own) in the minefield's radius on top of the other normal damage when detonated.
- Ships of the Scavenger Tribes don't hit gravitonic minefields during warp movement, but they can be damaged by detonation.
- The Aczanny ship, Sparrow Class Scout, doesn't hit gravitonic minefields during warp movement but it can be damaged by detonation.
- RCS Maelstorm Class Light Cruiser is a true cloaker & immune to all minefields.
[edit] Research
- The Rebels have a reduced ability to scan for and detect Gravitonic Minefields. By how much ?
