So I was wondering what the possibility of having a new type of CM, that when dropped can disrupt the cruise of a ship pursuing you. (or at least have a chance to do so)

Basically instead of stopping incoming CDs it would act as a way to slow the enemy down.

Something like a mine, that explodes at a certain range, but could be dropped while cruising. This could make chases easier, as the person chasing now has to avoid these CMs. (of course, the CMs should have low chance of hitting.. etc..)

I think that would be cool. It would make chasing a lot more fun then just flying to the next jumphole.

However.. it could give a big advantage to the person running. If you add this, it may have to add a low hitting cruise disrupter that you could shoot in cruise.

All of this could make chases a lot more fun.

Cruise disrupting mines are far more balanced. Like when the hunter has no CDs (anymore) and the runner can drop a few mines to halt him from engaging cruise.

Hmm yeah, kinda similar to dropping a mine just as you hit a tradelane, which disrupts the lane just after you go through.

Would this be done as a CD but firing backwards and being incredibly slow? Or would it work as a CM aswell and you'd like the CD effect as an added bonus?

I introduce an even better countermeasure.

The Flaming Gopher CD

It ejects out a gopher set on fire using naplam. Used by the poorest of the poor, the Flaming Gopher now also distracts some heat seeking missiles.

Stats:
Duration: 5 seconds
Countermeasure Efficiency: 15%

On the idea of a backwards firing CD... Nope. Don't think it'll work.

I think you should drop a bunch of manuer out and have it splat on the guy's windshield....

That works too.

Ever been out west in the US? The Fly Hazard signs actually exist.
