I think its understandable that the larger ships can hit these mines, but its a bit silly that a small ship like an equus can get pulled out of warps, just my opinion though. I had no idea warp mines existed until pretty recently.
To the goon squad that attempted to warp mine me today, I give the friendly suggestion for you all come to pvp4 and I’ll show you what its like when people can shoot back.
Medistim is mother of space combat ??
hell yeah. 50mg medistims incoming.
Mines mk1-5 check against warp drives 1-5 and captain lvl - the system doesnt really look at ships but drives and skills used.
Drive 1 equates to lvl0, 2 is 25, 3 - 50, 4 - 75, 5 is lvl100 (this is written as stat on the drives).
Big ships can only use L warp drives but the L drives are available in 1-5 whereas small ships have ul warp drive 1 which has lvl0 and any mine dodge attempts are solely based on your captain level.
The chance to dodge a mine seems to be based on the same system as dodge/evade works planetside, you can get hit at any level - its just much less likely to get hit if you have a much higher level then the one the mine is checking against.
Mines seem to roughly equate to drives of the respective mk class - though levels are not explicitly stated on them.
