Laser Minefield

[edit] Overview
Laser Minefields cause small amount of damage to ships who hit them, destroy a random number of fighters in a wing that hit them, and entirely destroy wings that are inside them when detonated.
- Laser Minefields have 5.33 times the chance to affect a unit passing through it than a Barbitic Minefield.
- They will also "light up" any objects within them when detonated. Any object in a detonated Laser Minefield will have a sensor image of around 100,000, making it visible to everyone.
- Setting a laser minefield to cloaked will not make it harder to be swept.
- Just being in an active enemy laser minefield reduce your scan range to 0.
Captain, our ship's sensors have been blinded by the laser minefield that we are moving through! Scan range: 0
[edit] Damage by mine hit during movement
- A ship hitting a Laser Minefield gets hull damage:
Hull Damage : ((100 / HullMass) * (RND * 3 + 10))
- If Hull Mass < 60 then additional damage is applied:
Hull Damage : ((60 / HullMass) * (RND * 60 + 20))
- Wings will lose (fighterCount * Rnd) from each fighter Type.
- Wings have 2% chance of losing their High Guard.
- The pods will be destroyed.
- Scan range reduced to 0.
- For every hit the Sensor Profile is increased by 20 for the rest of the turn.
Scan range: 0 Sensor Profile: 9024 Captain, hitting the minefield has increased our ship's signature! Scan range: 0 Sensor Profile: 9044 Captain, hitting the minefield has increased our ship's signature! Scan range: 0 Sensor Profile: 9064 Captain, hitting the minefield has increased our ship's signature! Scan range: 0 Sensor Profile: 9084 Captain, hitting the minefield has increased our ship's signature! Scan range: 0 Sensor Profile: 9104."
[edit] Damage done during Detonation
- Completely destroys un-docked wings.
- Increases the sensor image of an affected unit by 100,000.
- No damage to pods.
- No damage to ships. They are affected by the sensor image increase.
- No damage to minefields.
The sensor range becomes 0.This statement isn't true. Blinding is only done when moving through them. You don't have to hit a mine within a laser minefield to be blinded.
[edit] Research
- Do they really increase sensor image of ship traveling in them (like Web Minefield)? NO.(Gandalf)
- How much damage to ships get by hitting a laser mine?
- Ships with less than 60 kt of hull mass are destroyed.
- Ships between 60-100 kt of hull mass get a hull damage of [100/hullmass]* [RND(3)+10].
- Ships with more than 100 kt of hull mass get a max hull damage of 3%. (Gandalf).
[edit] Race Special
- Ships of the Scavenger Tribes have 2x the chance to hit a laser minefield.
- Fighters type 3 of Coalition (Si-90 Poppy Strike Fighters) can travel trough a laser minefield without hitting a mine, but they will be destroyed if the laser minefield is detonated.
- RCS Maelstorm Class Light Cruiser is a true cloaker & immune to all minefields.
