"Exotic" mine sweeper!

Since alarge mine does 1200 damage at max tech and each is treated as a seperated battle, what if you have a baseship with 41 pieces of organic armour III? 40 of these will generate exactly 1200 damage points per turn plus a spare (you need at least one intact piece for regeneration), you can run over an infinite number of mines without getting hurt!

woudln't it be cheaper to just build a mine-sweeper with mine-sweeping components ??

Probably, but not as much fun. Besides, in combat all that organic armour could ram just about anything into oblivion and then shrug off the damage. (only in tactical though=-(

Well, I need somebody to confirm that it actually works. And LemmyM, if it works you can clear an INFINITE number of mines with ONE ship, which means no more nasty surprises over that Last homeworld!

that ship would be usefull ( if it works ) in PBW games i guess, but in my unmodded singleplayer game i've never encountered a mine field bigger than 30. Need only a light cruiser or something to clear it.

One drawback - it wouldn't be very good in a fleet - you'd have to send it in before the fleet.
