[discussion and ideas] Possible mine changes

[awmalzo]

current mine anaylisis:

normal mines cost : $10,000
damage : 'x' <= approximate avarege damage
hits : 1

total damage before clearance : 'x'


Not generally used

Compund mines cost : $45,000
damage : 'x'
hits : 4

total damage before clearance : '4x'


*******************

current problem: regular mines aren't used anymore, and they only used only if people lack compund mines, or rebangers who can't afford compund mines yet.

*******************

suggested solution : http://starportgame.com/sgeforum/viewtopic.php?t=13401

regular mines do double damage

solution failed, too many opposing it.


>>> input your ideas on how to make regular mines more used <<<

please don't include different mines type in this discussion.THIS IS ONLY ABOUT REGULAR MINES AND COMPUND MINES.


All I want you to do is simple , copy what I posted above about the mines, and alter the hits, damage and cost stuff to your liking, or add them special abilities you like to see in the future, and post it.

and please don't post something like 1000 hits or any stupid stuff.....

Example:

I propose this plan

current mine anaylisis:

normal mines cost : $20,000
damage : '2x' <= approximate avarege damage
hits : 1

total damage before clearance : '2x'


Not generally used

Compund mines cost : $45,000
damage : 'x'
hits : 4

total damage before clearance : '4x'


reason: double damage of regular mines so they may get more usefull, challange to clear them.

I personally think that normal mines should do more damage per hit, but C Mines last longer.

My idea:

Both mines take 4 hits to destroy, and do the same damage.

However, the normal mines don't lower your energy when you hit them.

This could be used strategically, but I'm not going into that now.

waits for more input

[thorn]

hmm. well a solution to solve this is very simple.
get rid of normal mines and theres no need for them anymore.

or you could make it so normal mines start following you when you get so close to them that would be funny.

Heh, actually kinda like that idea just for the humor.

[Thebest]

How about this, every time you hit a normal mine, it encumbers you by 10%, not exceeding 50% however.

[CrazyChef]

How about normal mine work lioke real ones..
They dont trigger untill you actually "step off" the mine, but does much more damage
CM work as what they look like: Sensors on the outside of them trigger as soon as u touch them but do regular damage

just a thought

advantages and disadvantages to both

[BLADE2]

Turn normal mines into magnetic mines, they do little damage, but are pulled near you (magnetically, duh) when you get near them.

Mine a port with a bunch of these. Someone goes to leave the port, and they get followed by 50 mines at a time, BOOM! I bet that could increase their use a little.

Put a few of them near the landing zone on your planet, some unsuspecting Emperor lands to scope out the planet, they'll have a surprise waiting for them.

Defenses of BLADES obiterates -nox-!

Do to normal mines what we did to negs.

You can find normal mines under aliens.
Normal mines cost 100 energy to deploy. (this wont affect much, but would allow to drop them somewhere at a much quicker rate.)

i like elmayo's idea

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that idea is exactly what we should do with mines!

[ArdRhys4]

it makes perfect sense.

[CiZi]

If normal mines are not used enough and eventually seem a weak redundancy, just remove them.
