Re: Point Defense
and mines, if, for some odd reasons lauched during combat (or if using a mod, like Devnull)

Re: Point Defense
Can you launch mines during combat? If so, do they hurt your ship (if you ram them) or are they just garbage in the space?

Re: Point Defense
Yes you can launch them during combat. They are useless junk if you do so (until combat is over). Warheads only do damage when the equipped vehicle is the rammer, not the rammee. Mines get to ram ships with no limits when they enter the sector, which is why they do damage to them.  |

Re: Point Defense
Quick question.
100 fighters in a sector. Enemy ship moves into same sector. Are all 100 fighters in the same dang stack?
If not, how does the game break them up?

Re: Point Defense
It depends on how the 100 fighters were launched. They will be in the same breakdown into fighter Groups that they appear to be when you select them on the system map. Often, ya, they'll all be in one 100-fighter pig-pile.

Re: Point Defense
You can launch them in custom sized Groups in sequential games, but not simultaneous games, which really, really sucks.  |
