Looking for comments on possible mine suggestion.

[PvK]

Has anyone tried putting the Storm damaging sector ability (or warp point dmg) on a mine warhead... ? I guess only the warp point one has the random chance.

Actually, I guess it'd need to be something to put one something called a mine that wasn't a mine, and the component couldn't be put on anything else... so ya, it's back to code change request again.

I agree with the Baron (and have for over a year and a half now): mines should have random moddable chances to go off, to hit, to be detected, and to be swept. Or at least, to go off and to be swept.

I like the idea that mines should take considerable time to sweep, but I don't think the mechanic of destroying the sweeper components sounds right - I'd rather have a random chance that sometimes a minesweeper will get hit by a mine it's trying to sweep, and have the act of minesweeping take time.
