Xenos

[pipsqueak]

The way the game design is..
Any thing with a shield will require minimun two shots for a kill. these Mines would be considered contraband and any person mounting them would be considered KOS no matter what faction.
These mines dropped in pair, would not be to kill tradelanes, rather they would be droped at the exit points of the lanes. With speed 0 these mines will not drift towards the lane and get destroyed in the process. But imagine a transport full of goodies exiting a lane and stepping on a mine. It it is an NPC transport. (Kaboom) if it is a Player then one mine = shield down, two mines = kaboom. If the hull damage is enough to kill a large transport without armor upgrade? then suddently we will see and insurgence of escort fighters running ahead of transports to take the hit. The transports will start installing armour upgrades to survive the blast thus giving up scargo space on their ship.And last but not least, the Xenos will do what the do best, a little better. TERRORIZE.
BTW STOP A TRANSPORT COLD = Instant death.
My logic for a balanced and interesting game is that people actually sit down and weight the consiquences of their actions. Right now its a mindless race to get a Large train. I guess it will be the advanced Train soon. Xenos may be terrorists but they are not really taken seriously because if you think about it...If you got a Gun boat or a dready set up to kill a fighter.... are they really such a bad nuiscence for you ??? They fly eagles....meaning all these cap ship pleayer dont even think about a xeno attack. Now imagine if with this weapon, Xenos can actually disable a cap ships ability to move by dropping mines around it. Most caps can Either come to a dead stop. Or try to maneuver around these obsticles.
