"The Increase/Disrupt Reload types from Psychic/Crystalline might be interesting in warp point defense, too."

These only work in combat though..and mines attack before combat. I doubt they'd work.

That's what I am learning...

I haven't had a chance to work on it yet, but what had gotten me thinking about it was an interesting one-two combo...Shield-Generator Destroying Mines on the exit side of a warppoint followed by Shard Cannon (or other armor skipping weapon) equipped fighters/ships on sentry.

...ouch... yes/no?

A great idea (from Stars!) would be to implement mines with warheads that damage only the engines.

In Stars! they were called Speed Trap mines. If you stayed below a certain speed (because you could control the warp factor) then the mines didn't blow up.

Since SEIVG doesn't have 'speed', then just having mines that take out the engines would be great.

P&N has such mines, as well as null space, weapons-only, etc.

Adamant Mod has mines of nearly every special damage type that would work for mines.

Do these special damage type mines work correctly??
I tried mines with "only weapons" damage type warheads and they exploded whether the ship had weapons or not. Of course the ship with no weapons wasn't damaged at all, which makes these special mines pretty useless.
