Well now this is something new I saw recently... Anyidea what it's about? I could use some pointers as to whether it's worth learning to use these or not.

Can you still buy those in game? Never really found a use for them, thought they had been removed from the game.

they were. are they back or something? where did you hear about them OP?
I remember having to run away from crowded areas to check them out so that i dont get concordorkened minutes later by someone who ran across it =P. I remember setting off chain reactions of those things though. Very VERY fuzzy memory there. Musta been ages ago.

The Vengeance NEEDS to be nerfed. It's ability to die FAR outclasses ANY OTHER SHIP IN THE GAME! One time, I engaged one and it went down in seconds, any other AF that can do that? Not r

They arent new they are accually an old module
They got broke during the ML revamp when launchers could only use certain missiles. They didnt make a launcher that could use mines.
They were also incredibly fun. we surrounded an NPC station with 200+ mines a couple weeks after release and when a guy warped to the station, it was the biggest explosion ive seen (looked like the station was exploding, though it didnt). Concord and the sentries sure didnt like it and our rifters got shredded pretty fast, but damn was it fun.

That's cool, I ask because a friend of mine just obtained a BPO for them.... Now I guess he needs a launcher.

These mods have potential I can see a use for them now. setup a bubble lay mines add sentry drones and get ready to make things go boom.

they were removed after castor
problems was pritty obvious, while jumpin points were "randomly" in deadspace, u could deploy 10k of them, who ever jumps in gets a minute loading lag, wich is, insta death

IMO mines will never be back.

Mines were pretty pointless when there were in. One BS equiped with smartbombs could clear any minefield (no matter how dense) safely and quickly.
I have no idea what space mines should be though.

Properly used mines would be so effective that they would bring gameplay to a crawl. They don't often mention this in the history books, but American sea mines (drop from planes) sunk far more Japanese ships than subs, which supposedly straggled Japan's supply lines, did. Even in the wide expanses of space, mines equiped with the proper sensors could turn the entire EVE galaxy in a space based version of that level in the original Half-Life where you had to work your way past hundreds of trip mines.

That's weird, how did he got that BPO ? And well, I've played since Exodus, and the launcher for those was removed before I joinded the game ...

Heh yeah I've played for a long time too... ah well I just hope he doesn't go and build any... although that would give me a laugh when I tell him there are no launchers.... Unless they're back now.

Just occured to me, but wouldnt they (if they are even in the game anymore) be rather powerful when used with an Interdictor?

did you even read the posts above?
and i joined pre-castor, and they had been removed by then - thatll give you an idea how old they are. oh sure, i got a few around, but thats cos agent missions carried on handing out the ammo for a while after.
and did they remove the launchers, or just remove the production capability for more? hmm =)
