Mine destruction

Hello everyone
What do you think if it will be possible to destroy mines using weapons, just shoot and its explode? Probably only with point base weapons.

 

Can we shoot torpedos?

 

No

 

Was rhetorical and sarcastic

 

I've been seeing plenty of mine spammers nowadays.
They're a pain in the butt to deal with, especially when they stay in a secluded area (like the tunnels in the foundry) and block all available passageways so you can't shoot them. And then they start hurling mines at you with their long range mines until you're pretty much surrounded in mines.

 

Time to become a mine spamming speeder. Hehehehe.

 

Do that, and I'll torp the daylights out of you.

 

I detest using mines. I'm more a DD kind of guy. The game has so far given me 4 epics weapons. One of those was an exploding cannon. The other 3 were mines. I've been wondering about dual mine speeder myself. I'm trying to imagine was an E40 mine at my level would do if hit. I'm guessing one-shot an awful lot of ships.

 

Your damn lucky. That kind of mine can do 2500+ damage.
I'm sitting in Master league doing barely 1700 with my T3 rare mine.

 

Heh, trade you 3 mines for a sniper cannon and a railgun

One day I may make use of them. I prefer direct fighting... preferably in a fur ball of dog fighting. But I do have my "tricksy" side and I have been eyeing a speeder alt. 2500 damage is funny. That WOULD one-shot a lot of ships I fight against and it would be half the health of even the bruisers I go up against.

 

It can do much more than 2.5k with the perks.
Unfortunately, I've only received 2 rare snipers/2 rare Railguns in my whole Battle Bay life.

 

I only have 3 of them. It might be 2 years till I see a 4th or a 6th. Still though...

 

Not even.

 

I think the only use for mines is to confuse your own teammates, into either wasting thier time going around your friendly mines, that they didn’t see you drop, or getting killed by an enemy mine, because they thought it was one of yours.

What we need to do is find the people who use mines IRL, hold them down, and beat them repeatedly with bars of soap in a sock, until they stop it (like that scene in Full Metal Jacket)... it’s for thier own good!

 

Then torpedos should also damage all the ships, and all aoe damage too.

Turning friendly fire on will make game much harder for most players, so better forget about it

Mines are quite interesting gameplay alternative to mortar spamming.

 

It isn't so much that it'd be harder. It's just that the game would instantly turn into a griefer's paradise. I'd be gone and new players from 4Chan would be here with all their cute little names and 12 year old sexual humor.
