Re: How do mines work
I'd like a Degaussing option.
Quote:

One is degaussing, a technique applied to nearly all warships in WW2. In this, the hull of the ship is "wiped" with a high-tension cable that reverses the magnetic field in the hull. This doesn't make the ship "invisible" it flips the mine fuze the wrong way. The effect of a degaussing fades quite quickly so the process has to be repeated regularly. Later many ships had a degaussing cable fitted permanently to them.

Re: How do mines work
TerranC: interesting, but mine sweepers dont work this way - they just blow the mines off. In limited capacity, too.

Uhmm... nothing. I love your explanation. :-) But Zoompet's is the right one.

Re: How do mines work
WWII ships also deployed a mine sweeper componant that looked like a rake or a cattle catcher on a old time locamotive.
The mines would hit rake and blow a portion of it off. Eventually it would be pulled up and more steel beams would get welded on.

Huh? I'm not sure I understand. I didn't say that I'd like a Degaussing Minsweeping Component, I said that I'd like a degaussing option for ALL ships.
Just like it was done back in the old times.
