"Exotic" mine sweeper!

[Lemmy]

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.

but if it works, you can use it as a cloaked mine-sweeper.
That opens up a lot of possibilities. I tried to make a cloaked mine-sweeper with normal mine-sweeping components, but it blew up after entering a warp point while cloaked.

I thought that organic armour only worked when you were in combat.
I seem to recall back in my organic days that if you went through one of those damaging warp points the armour didn't repair itself until you actually entered combat.
