Create a minefield...

[Ideaspy 2.5]

You select the place, the amount and your ship starts to build a nice cloud of mine there (thanks to its (very handy) transporter device (once more)).
I'm working on it. Release tonight.

SW actually asked for this script a while ago. Although she wanted it to manage the minefield as well, and that was the part I haven't figured out an elegant way to do yet. Not to mention taking the ships position while it lays mines into account.

sounds interesting, could sure use a minefield, to pester the threat with.

Xai Corp. Fleet Support ship software has a basic mine laying ability. It'll lay a cube of 8 mines around the point you specify.

The biggest problem I found was actually getting hold of 8 Squash mines. They seem to be quite rare.

Well... Err...
I release it and discover your message...

You'll need to have a transporter device installed on your ship in order to use the new ship command : "Create a minefield here".
You can run it by clicking on the additionnal commands slots below the turrets orders.
Once you launched it, you'll be asked for the amount of mines in your minefield. The more mines inside, the wider it will be.
You'll hear beeps, don't worry, it's not a time remoted bomb, it just means that you're still in the area of the minefield and that your ship can't drop them while you're here. Try to move away until the beeps stop.
