Basics
A support ship. It is one of the fastest small ships, alongside the miner. It is not very tough but has a high energy storage and regeneration.
Abilities
~ The minelayer can drop a mine which will travel towards the most nearby enemy and explode.
~ [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.
~ 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].
Tips and hints
- 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.
