hmmm, roms should have the minelayer, fed defiant class should be able to lay a much smaller amount of mines.

Yea, i like the idea too, but the other question is f the federation don't get too strong when the defiant gets additionally gets a minelayer, would be easier to build a team defiant and kill smaller vessels with standard weapons and big ships with the minelayer...

the romulans are the race i ment to have the mine layer. i thought about the federation too (defiant ..) bit i think the federation is quite strong enough in defence (ECM, point defence, newton class)

i don't really see the use of point defense, it does not stop phasers does it? and only about 3 of the ships in the game use torpedos.

i have thozght about it.. the romulans should have a "small" minelayer, similar to the classic one which of the defiant (in armada2) .. the eridians should have the ability to plant mine fields..

it is possible, but you have to use an 8472 file, i think somebody has it made.

you could use the ion storm special weapon and change the object that it creates, but you would still have to make each one seperatly.....

i found a way to lay down a mine field.. but till now it seems that either the romulans, nor the federation will get the mine field. mos probably it will be the ciadan or the dominion

All I can say is make sure the minefield is permanent or at least lasts as close to forever as possible.

thats a point do all the mines move or do they stay there??? do they all blow or just a few and say if the difant goes thought and takes one then the enterprise goes though will that take one or will it take a dozen??? :unsure:

from what i have in mind every mine will explode individually, they will hold their position until a target cames in (close) range, then they will explode and the shockwave damages the target...

Post by: NieKnight on June 29, 2003, 05:45:08 PM

can the mind field be destored by say shockwaves phaser fire ect???

perhaps.. perhaps there will be a "remove minefield" ability for the construction ships or something.. lets see.. :D

That'd be kinda interesting. Escourt in C ships to disable the minefields around an enemyie's base. It could be a special weapon of the C-ship. A short range brodcasting signal that disables mines. Or maybe switches around their IFF equipment to only attack enemy ships.
