Re: New PBW Game - Furball V: Pinball
oooh, mines.. interesting. i dunno, why not? they would all be sucked to the same sector like everything else, and odds are someone would bring a minesweeper along. I think they would be more irritating than effective.
i can turn them off, if you think they would pose a serious problem, but id like to hear your reasoning on it.

heh, never realized all the weapons tech were in exclusive research areas. I had thought there was some overlap with weapons and components.

No, I have no problem with mines - just didn't see mine warheads in the allowable weapons list, so I wanted to make sure. I say put em in. Teleporting mines sound like good clean fun! |

Re: New PBW Game - Furball V: Pinball
Aah... Actually, how would that work?
If I have ten planets, and launch one hundred mines from each one in the same turn, then the sector that everything gets pulled to will have one thousand of my mines and God knows how many of everyone else's...
Can you test that one on your magic map there, Puke?

Re: New PBW Game - Furball V: Pinball
I wonder how the game decides whose mines get detted first in a combined minefield... Would suck to be the player in an alliance who always got his mines blown up first whenever enemies came by and thus had to build more mines to maintain the field... especially so in this game! 
Of course, that player could always beg the others in the alliance to build loaded mine layers and gift them to him, in order to save on build time...

Re: New PBW Game - Furball V: Pinball
would mines destroy mines?

Re: New PBW Game - Furball V: Pinball
Don't mines only detonate when moving into a sector (i.e., not events or random movement)?
