Watch out for air mines!

[Spud Nick]

I think I will be flying a squid a lot more when the air mines are introduced to the game.  The speed the ship has and the back mount weapon seems perfect for a mine launcher.

Aren't the tars clouds a sort of air mine? they really hurt.

Imagine tar and air mines... Ooooh.

Imagine tar and air mines... Ooooh.

that leads to the question of does tar affect mines?

On a Squid:

Fire mines, drop tar, and stop to think a bit about your life, you heartless person.

[Shinkurex]

yeah this is probably going to be the defacto rear gun for squid/galleon

[N-Sunderland]

yeah this is probably going to be the defacto rear gun for squid/galleon

I don't think you're using the term de facto right

But I agree. It'll be amazing for those lesser-used slots.

[Shinkurex]

yeah probably... would it even be worth bringing it on boats with only side mounts such as the goldfish or junker? I could see the argument for the Pyra, but how good of an arc is this puppy going to have?

[N-Sunderland]

I could see it being used as a side mount on the Goldfish on maps where cloud coverage isn't a problem. Right now I like to have a Goldfish with a right side gatling and left side flare. On maps like Firnfeld you don't really need that flare as much, so a mine launcher could do the job.

[Shinkurex]

So what happens if you hit your own mine? seems like it could be a bit dangerous... *random scenario caused by sleep deprivation* Laying out mines to build a defensive position around a point.... Squid pops up unexpectantly and you turn to engage... right into your mine.... mine goes off.... *end scenario*... can you Team kill yourself

[Lord Dick Tim]

If I remember the mines won't hurt friendly targets.  I recall that being mentioned by a green name at some point.

[Machiavelliest]

This certainly will bring about a whole new level of stink to the "is suiciding allowed" discussion.

[Mattilald Anguisad]

Is it confirmed mine launcher will be a light weapon?

[Shinkurex]

yes It was confirmed I believe

[N-Sunderland]

Yes, it was.
