* The minelayer can drop a mine which will travel towards the most nearby enemy and explode. The usual amount of mines carried by the minelayer is 25 but it can be extended. However when the minelayer docks it will be rearmed. The mines are destroyable by many kinds of weapons, including the wraith cannon and the mining laser.
* [EMP MINE: INFORMATION REQUIRED]
* The distress beacon is basically an item left behind by the minelayer which emits a constant signal. It will be recorded by pingers on the battlecruiser and can cause distractions or mislead enemies. It can be constructed with the battlecruisers [[Construction Console]] and appears in loads of five beacons.
* The minelayer is the only ship that can repair a ship's hull (whether small ship or battlecruiser). The nanite-based repairing materials are randomly released from the front of the ship, in a narrow cone.
* The minelayer can also remotely recharge shields in a similar system to the Nano-Hull spray [see above].
* Many distress beacons can confuse an enemy and make them lose time trying to destroy them.
* Place mines strategically, for example in an asteroid field or as somebody is following you. Beware as mines may cause lag if in excess.
* Nebulas are not visible to all players, but placing a mine inside of one is a clever way to hide them
* Do not stack mines, 1 mine goes in pursuit 1 at a time, multiple will have no effect on 1 ship.
* Your heal spray and shield spray can be used at the same time if you wish to deplete your energy quickly and switch ships.
* A clever mine layer can follow a destroyer to harass the enemy BC, the shield and hull heals are very effective.

Uses & Tactics

  • Corvettes should formost distract, tank and provide cover for your teams small ships.
  • Ionic Transfer makes the Corvette a very dangerous ship.
  • Thruster upgrades can increase the dps of Corvettes as staying closer to enemies allows the Photon Barrage to connect more projectiles.
  • The Corvette is a very good ship, however it's limited early game by its engine speed and energy.
  • Rest Corvettes inside Asteroid Fields to recover energy before attacking the enemy. A Corvette needs proper energy reserves before attacking.
  • Use Reflective Shield to cover yourself or to block enemy projectiles from hitting ally ships.
  • Use Photon Rush offensively to reduce the distance between you and enemies or defensively to flee across the map.
  • When attacking, go in from below. The view is greater above ships and smaller below.
  • Hold shift and F (fire Photon Barrage hotkey) to get a reliable volly of attacks against adjacent enemies.
