I don't know if this is true. Star Citizen backers claim that the best feature of the game is that travel times to anywhere are at a minimum, 30 minutes.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

A lone-wolf ship that can take out capital ships is a sound idea with no problems whatsoever that I can think of. Fortunately these "developers" are basically playing "the floor is lava" so it doesn't ultimately matter. Imagine how hard it would be if they also had an idea for a game and had to fit this in somehow!

Being able to solo grief dozens of people at the same time is exactly the feature we want. Shame it'll be locked behind a $800 ship.

So, I guess I have to ask:

--Do you have to purchase mines or are they restocked? Where can you restock from, and can they be carried by other ships?
--How do you deploy mines, is it a mini game of its own, do they fall out of drop down doors, are they placed by a drone?
--Do mines need to be placed and then activated or are they active from the get go?
---How close do you have to be to activate them, if you have to activate them? Can you de-activate them?
---Are they friendly fire? Do allies/orgs/friendly NPCs simply see the mines and have to avoid them, or do these groups not set them off? Or do they set them off, but they don't cause friendly damage?
--Can the ship fire weapons or move while deploying mines?
--Is the ship supposed to deploy mines and then slink away, or does it stay and then fight?
--Does the ship remotely detonate the mines? If so, are there distance limitations?
--If I leave my ship can I activate mines still?
--If I leave my ship, am killed, etc... do the mines persist/work, or are they removed?
--If space is so huge, how do we expect mines to be a useful weapon?
--What does my crew of 8 do for this ship? 4 Gunners, 1 pilot, 2 mine deployer, 1 captain?
--Historically capital ships like Heavy Cruisers and Battleships were large and heavily armored and minelayers were smaller, nimble, and less heavily armored to facilitate that. Why is this ship different?


Those are about 2 minutes of thought I just had on this one topic. I wonder if they have thought about any of that.

It is good and normal to get a bank loan to buy game DLCs (or even JPEGs of game DLCs).

Hmm...
I will only buy this minelayer if it can be modified to drop space depth charges. I will also buy the space depth charges because I am a shrewd consumer.
