Impact Damage from Weapons (just mines for now)

[shadowsteel]

1) Has anyone tested whether Impact Bumpers lower the damage taken from Mines?

In theory it should.

2) And how does Impact damage from Mines factor in with the current physics?

I think with ships and walls, mountains, etc they deal a fixed amount of impact damage which is then modified by the ship's mass and speed.

Is the Impact damage from Mines the same? Or does it deal just a fixed amount of damage without any modifiers?

[Zenark]

That.... Is a good question.

1) Been meaning go test this
2) Damage from mines do not seem to be effected by speed or mass of the ships that hit them

I don't know if things have changed since the Dev build, but... When I flew into 4 mines with a pyramidion, I died. When I flew into 4 mines with impact bumpers, I survived.
