[edit] Overview
Laser Minefields cause small amount of damage to ships passing through them, destroy a random number of fighters in a wing that is passing through them, and entirely destroy wings that are inside them when detonated.
- 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.
[edit] Damage done during Movement
- Laser Minefields have 5.2 times the chance to affect a unit passing through it than a Barbitic Minefield.
- Wings will lose (fighterCount * Rnd) from each fighter Type.
- Wings have 2% chance of losing their High Guard.
- Ships that are less than 60 kt can receive heavy damage. Normally are totally destroyed.
- Ships between 60-100 kt of hull mass get a hull damage of [100/hullmass]* [RND(3)+10].
- Ships that are over 100 kt can take a maximum of 3% hull and system damage.
- The pods will be destroyed.
- The sensor image of an affected unit will increase by 20%.

[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.
Captain, our ship's sensors have been blinded by the laser minefield that we are moving through! Scan range: 0
[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.
