Some random Mine strategy

Hello,

I first joined the game a few days ago. I started experimenting with different turrets and i stumbled across the Mine. Of all the selectable weapons, the mine became one of my favorites. I started randomly spamming mines everywhere, randomly. I had huge success destroying enemies by doing this. Soon after a couple of days passed, many others started doing to same. So here is a couple of strategys:

1. Spam Mine as soon as the battle starts, who know where the enemy will go. Especially at the end of a battle when you are hunting down an enemy, they just might stumble upon one of your mines.
2. Find cover during an engagement, and drop mines from cover.
3. If you are alone against many enemies, get out of their vision and drop mines behind you, if they follow, they'll get a nasty surprise.
4. Keep the enemy guessing where you are and always drops mines in an unpredictable fashion.
5. You can use mines to deter enemies from getting closer. Useful tactic against carronade.
6. Beware of long ranged enemies, they don't have to come close to kill you.

Sorry if this guide was long winded, hope it was useful tho!

 

Thanks for sharing what you found

 

For me tip 5 is useless because they run right into my mines. Deadly results.
I have a few more tips
7.Place them at tight turns so when they come by.....
8.Place them in the capture zone when speeder come to capture the get blone apart.
I tried these two methods and they work well

 

8. Put mines inside bushes AND burning ship corpses.
