Mine Layers

[guitarguy]

I think it could work as long as nobody abuses the system. To do this there would have to be very firm rules like...

1) Mines cannot be within 5K of Jump Gates or Jump Holes.

2) Mines cannot completely seal off any base, planet, ect.

As for the mine sweeper/layer ship, there could be a large (roughly the size of a cruiser), heavily armored but lightly armed mine layer. I could have about six class 9 turrets and a special mine slot. Then there could be a gunboat-sized mine sweeper that is also lightly armed and heavily armored. It would have a special forward gun that could shoot mines to disable them. I'm assuming the mines being placed are like the Zone-21 mines, invincible unless you get run into them. In this case the special gun would be the only gun that could stop the mines.
