Shock Mine Launcher

Revision as of 04:50, 14 February 2016 by Fandom>DNYI (reworked sentence flow, linkified, general formatting, and re-added motes on how they are detonated)

The Shock Mine Launcher works just like the mine launcher, in that it drops a mine when fired and that once mines are dropped they will detonate when any hostile ship enters its proximity. The difference lies in that upon detonation, the mines from the shock mine launcher mainly provided concussive force to disorient a ship, with little damaging force. Thus, damage inflicted is either minimal or none. Shock mines can be used as an escape tool to delay chasers or as a method to push enemy ships into asteroids within heavy asteroid fields.
