The Mine Launcher
RearAdmiralZill:
You really think we would just ignore the potential loch mines possess?
Mines however are silly OP in their current form.
Wazulu :
Of course I don't think you would ignore it, that'd be a distinct lack of ingenuity. I'd hoped people would've ignored it for longer, as having tested this thoroughly, it raises a lot of issues concerning how Muse wants the game to be played. Currently, A double Mine Launcher front Pyramidion can kill nearly all ships with two detonating Lochnagar Mines, and can survive the explosion itself. It's likely we'll see lots of suicide runs with moonshining Pyramidions, rather than balanced brawl gameplay, so for now we shouldn't advertise the Mine Launcher to be used in such a way. When this build does go live I would suggest not abusing Mines, but that's an inevitability as soon as the community at large get to grips with the weapon
All in all, we should be more worried about Mercuries.
N-Sunderland:
A Pyamidion with double loch merc can destroy any ship's armour with one shot from each gun just before a ram. Yes, even a Galleon's armour.
Not to mention that loch merc plus loch heavy flak is a 2-hit kill against a Goldfish. In fact, loch heavy flak is a one-hit kill against nearly every ship unarmoured, and at point blank, too.

Im sorry, but the internet isnt going to "play nice" when you give them the tools to do such things. We can boycott it all we want, but I'd rather not be fighting against them every round because, well, people like meta for some silly reason.
N-Sunderland:
I don't think that ammo should affect the mines' damage or burst radius. Only projectile speed should be changed. Otherwise you get loch mines, loch mines, and more loch mines.
