Nova Barbitic Minefield

From PlanetsWiki

This is a special type of minefield that can only be dropped by The Robotic Imperium. This is a racial ability so that any ship captured from The Robots will not drop Nova Barbitic Minefields.

They can also stop hyperjumps like Gravitonic Minefields.
These special minefields can also cause a chain reaction when detonated.

[edit] Damage done during Movement

Nova barbitics do double damage when moving through them as was assumed by players and defined by Tim.
A ship hitting a barbitic mine gets hull damage:

Hull Damage         : ((100 / Hull Mass) * (RND * 150 + 130)) * 2

If Hull Mass >= 400kt the hull damage is multiplied by an (reducing) factor (Host 213k):

Hull Damage         : Hull Damage * ( (12000 - (Hull Mass - 400)) / 12000 ) * 2

There is also the chance that the soft spot of the ship is hit and additional hull damage is inflicted:

IF RND(0 to 50) <= Hull_SoftSpot THEN 
  Hull Damage       : Hull Damage + (RND(0 to 200) + 20

A minehit also deals damage to the other ship parts:

Engine Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 50) + 5
Life Support Damage : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 120)
System Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 80)
Shield Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 40)
Weapon Damage       : (100 / Hull Mass) x RND(0 to 60)

Ship Scanner profile increases by 800 for the rest of the movement phases for each Barbitic Minefield hit.
Unlike normal barbitic minefields these minefields do no harm to fighter wings when wings pass through them during movement.

[edit] Damage done during Detonation

Hull Damage   = 2 * ( (2000 / (hull_mass + 1)) + 2 )
System Damage = 4 * ( (2000 / (hull_mass + 1)) + 2 )

The Robotic Imperium's ships take less damage (1% hull and 2% system; doubled for Nova) from Barbitic and Nova Barbitic Minefield detonations, including chain reactions.
