Yeah... I'd be pissed if an AI started firing mines everywhere.

Also, you can't harpoon mines, which makes me a bit sad. Imagine firing a mine, grabbing it, and slinging it into people.

Just cos you can't harpoon a mine doesn't mean that you can't drag someone through them...

Listen Cul, which sounds cooler. Dragging a guy kicking and screaming into a mine, or whirling a mine around your ship like some kind of nunchuk, and finally throwing it at the enemy, devastating their hull armor, and then pounding them with a flak?

That said, I don't think my harpoon mine meta is going to take off. Oh well, it still has potential.

Yea, I want to harpoon a mine, that has little to no mass, and suck it into my boat. Seems legit.

The ML is working quite effectively as a mortar, as well as the more usual tactical purposes it may be put to.  Ammunition choice then becomes very critical for altering the range.

I was surprised to see more mobulas than mine launchers used last night. So far they make for great ways to create "cover" out of thin air.

While flying on a Mobula, an enemy squid was placing mines beneath me, and shooting out my balloon so we'd plummet onto them. Annoying, but an effective tactic.

Mine launcher is a great defensive option for ships like the squid and junker.

I can easily say I'm in love with this gun. It's so satisfying to have placed a few mines, be using another gun, then BOOM

Zenark has destroyed Balloon
Zenark has destroyed Hull Armor
Zenark has destroyed Whirlwind Light Gatling Gun
Zenark had destroyed Barking Dog Light Carronade
Zenark had destroyed Light engine
Zenark had destroyed Light engine

I can't help but laugh evilly! Mu haw haw haw haw haw! I will master this weapon.
