    If we shoot a mine with a mortar or a grenade, why does not the mine explode?

    Good idea actually to nerf mines. But how do we know if we are detonating friendly mines?

    There would probably be a friendly fire setting, similar to when you drop a mortar and an ally is in the target area

    But it's still wasting the shot because there is no colouring or identification on what team the mine is in.

    Actually, why am I suddenly against this? I wanted it a few hours ago lol.

    Normally, if you see a mine, you avoid it and move on ..

    So the only players this would benefit would be speeders trying to get behind a fixer (that's blocked a passage with a mine) or players camping a particular spot.

    And, since the blast radius of mines is larger than the trigger radius, you could also be doing damage to friendlies with errant grenade/mortar shots.

    Allowing any area damage weapon like mortars or grenade to clear multiple mines would be OP IMO and kill mines as a weapon. It would be too easy to destroy many mines (potentially) in one go.
    Perhaps I could accept point damage weapons destroying them as that would take some skill to hit such a small target, and would leave the ‘mine destroyer’ vulnerable during the process as it would take concentration for such a precise aim. However, it probably wouldn’t make sense that some weapons could destroy them and some couldn’t.

    I'd almost prefer to see a new item to fulfill this purpose... A large broom comes out of your ship and hits the mine detonating it from outside the blast radius, call it the mine sweeper lmao.

    ingenious, just underwater tesla shield! when the mine hits the shield, it sinks. Torpedoes can also be involved!

    I’ve been hoping for this too. I wouldn't want a mortar or grenade to activate them all tho.. I think you should have to sharp shoot them to cause them to explode.

    Since this would be a nerf to mines and mine spamming, it could have a faster cooldown.
