Probably a bad idea but..

The heavy version of the mine should clearly be the aerial torpedo.

Although a longer range mine would make some sense, instead of zoom have the range drop to normal mine range maybe?

Mayhaps. But the heavy mine already has a name designed by destiny. The light mine launcher is the Phobos, named for the Roman god of fear and a son of Mars. It's only fitting that the heavy would go with this theme and be called Deimos, after the Roman god of terror, another son of Mars and brother to Phobos.

The Deimos Heavy Triple Mine Launcher?

Hold up, I got a better idea for a mine/poon combo.

It shoots a harpoon first, then launches a mine that reels itself toward the enemy ship.

........You beautiful, pink bastard.....

pretty sure mine explodes the moment it feel the tugging of the rope.

unless of course you mean like some sort of time bomb.

No it wouldn't. If you look at a mine when it's deployed, it has prongs that stick out, like a sea mine. Sea mines are triggered when one of the prongs is pressed like a button. It would probably work to attach the harpoon reel between the mine and the balloon.

Either that, or you could have a new kind of mine that detonates when the harpoon cable is reeled all the way in.

or... just have a missile launcher....

[Koali]

But mines do impact damage, which is delicious.

Yeah, Muse, why can't we have a missile launcher? WHY?

Have an artemis that has a boxing glove missile head.

[Koali]

That could go in the weapon skins thread.

[Carn]

Sounds more like ammo skins......Muse... ....give the artemis a boxing glove for April fools.

[Koali]

Along with special "BONK!" particles for component breaks!

[Richard LeMoon]

This attached to a balloon and filled with high explosives for when the ammo runs out. Heavy mine turret. Enough said.
