You can only launch 2 batches of mines, why? Mines dont do much and the game would not change at all if they were removed. i dont want them to be removed. i just want to be able to use ALL my mine, i mean whats keeping you from using more? the captain dousent want to loose track?? Or just improve their dmg

Increase the AoE and damage caused by mines.

Kluth mines are antimatter based, so they deal a lot of hull damage (I think 1 mine is similar in damage to 1 AM Torp). UGTO mines are EMP based and suck.

ugto have worst mine capabilities,
the use emp mines, so they hurt shields and armor, the explosion does hull
the only have a minelayer frig

to add insult to injury TN mines also do emp damage....

but mines are fun to use if you are kluth

Mines have a limit on the batches deployable apparently because of 6 mines being deployed in one batch. Imagine the sheer anger of the station who got killed in one second because some guy placed 12 x 5 batches of AM mines very close to the other terminal of a gate, which equals 360 mines. This is pretty much enough to hull an ICC station with 4 armor, 8 shields, and 8 Defense enhancements, and possibly kill too, if 2 players mined the area. Scarabs would by invincible!

Could you explain how? All weapons can deal systems damage to exposed hull below 40%, while EMP damages systems if the hull is exposed on the side being hit, regardless of hull.

Edit - I tested the mines in beta v1.539, and got these values:

Tests conducted -
Single mine damage - deployed mines, and destroyed a mine when it was at 2 gu or less distance.
Mine deploying test - deployed as many mines as possible.
Maximum damage range test - deployed a minefield, and destroyed a mine at various distances.
Systems damage test - deployed a 2-bay minefield while flying at 6 gu/s, rotation of 12 degrees, then positioned the minelayer at centre of the minefield, where average distance was 30 gu, and auto-destructed the mines.

Tested ICC mines in Beta :-
Mines per batch - 6
Maximum batches per mine bay - 2
Maximum damage range - 50 + (2 * level) gu
Damage of 1 mine at point-blank range on frigate active shields - 11%
Systems damaged from 1 batch of mines at 30 gu - 1

Tested K'luth mines in Beta :-
Mines per batch - 5
Maximum batches - 3
Maximum damage range - 60 + (2.5 * level) gu
Damage of 1 mine at point-blank range on frigate organic armor - 13%
Systems damaged from 1 batch of mines at 30 gu - 0

Tested UGTO mines in Beta :-
Mines per batch - 8
Maximum batches per mine bay - 2
Maximum damage range - 55 + (2 * level) gu
Damage of 1 mine at point-blank range on frigate standard armor - 10%
Damage of 1 mine at point-blank range on frigate reflective armor - 5%
Systems damaged from 1 batch of mines at 30 gu - 3

Extras -
ICC can deploy 12 mines per bay at a time, and do general damage on ICC. My frigate was damaged to 28% while doing systems damage test with fore shields and armor plate.
K'luth can deploy 15 mines per bay at a time and do armor damage on K'luth. My frigate was damaged to 31% while doing systems damage test with dual fore armor plates.
UGTO can deploy 16 mines per bay at a time and do hull damage on UGTO. My frigate was instakilled with both single ablative and double standard armor, and damaged to 16% with single reflective armor while doing systems damage test.

Conclusion - UGTO would rock if they had just a destroyer grade minelayer. K'luth rock because they have a cruiser with 5 mine bays. ICC fail because they have least range and probably no EMP damage, contrary to the database.

scarab have 5 launcher (cruiser)

i think the main-damage-problems are:
a) to do max damage, the enemy must run over your mines
b) mines (like all projectiles i think) have a maximum number per gadget, which can be active at a time.... for scarab its about 15 mines (5 mines per drop // 3 drops, till the gadget refuse any orders)

same limits do (or seems to) apply for:
- beacons (i think its also ~15)
- missles
- fighters

It is true that maximum damage is achieved when the subject is hit at point-blank range. However, due to the ships 'saucer' shaped hitbox, the maximum possible damage is done when the mine blasts above/below the target.
Yes, all projectiles including bombs, and till recently, fighters had a limit on active projectiles per device. This is not as issue when using sabots, ARs, torpedoes and cannons because of their low time period of existence.
A Scarab can deploy a maximum of 75 mines (3(batches) x 5(mines/batch) x 5(mine launchers). No wonder its a favoured minelayer...until the cruiser layout update atleast.

Why not have Homing mines? Mines that when you get close enough, move towards you? certainly negate the problem I have of laying mines and having people go around them....

We have had homing mines, they got removed when we released 1.500.
I do not remember the reason for there removal.
