Thread: mines?
Weaponsmiths can make mines there are 3 times one of which is an anti-vehicular mine so those maybe worthwhile with the vehicles coming in to the game today.
I charge a person 70k per 100 mines including 100 29% dmg powerups. He has been ordering at least 100 a week from me and says they are doing a good job of protecting is base.
"there are 3 times one"
That should read "there are 3 types, one"
U get the "minefield" which looks like those little warning signs your see through faction point requsition. You must then buy mines to fill that mine field.
There are three types...the best anti personnel happens to be the xg mine with a good powerup. The vehicle mine might be good now that vehicles are coming out.
I can attest that the mines work great for base defense as well as mining the area outside your shuttle port if you don't want visitors in town 
. Usually you need to special order the mines from a weapon smith as they are time consuming to build and take quite a bit of factory time. I always have some in stock as the official ISO mine provider for the Maelstrom Deathtrain Shuttle. They are fairly effective for pvp action and defence in raids. Problem is a raid really wipes out the mines....Maelstrom fills ours daily...and that a lot of mines!
I only provide them to Imperials though...don't wanna get blown up by my own mines on a raid. If you need some on Gorath let me know.
I need them for Bloodfin.
Any weaponsmith on Bloodfin wanna fill my order?
I would like 100 of each type with power ups to go with them.
Thx

100 mine's are a lot my friend, they take alot of recources and componets especially the anti vehical ones,...
Depends if he wants 100 mines or 100 stacks? Though I am not sure how it works with placing it in a minefield. Each mine comes with 5 'uses' - I don't know if that means 5 mines, or the mine can blow up 5 times before being expended?
100 mines coule be just 20 stacks, which is under a crate. 100 stacks are still only 4 crates. I made 40 crates once, for a special order, but the guy changed his mind after they were all done, which is aggravating.

Just get XG mines, they're easiest to makeand they have the best stats.
Well give me a wave point for your vendor and put up some more.
I will buy.
Thought I best chime in to give the very misunderstood skinny on mines. Every game hour I play I spend making munitions or melee or gathering resources to make them.
Here are the stats on my current models, both made with very close overall resource quality ratings :
XG Mine (Resources-49, Builds-3)
[169-663, 4.0, Blast, AP1, Rds-8.0]
DRX Mine (Resources-154, Builds-4)
[158-419, 4.0, Blast, AP3, Rds-8.0]
XG AVG DMG - 416
DRX AVG DAM - 288
Damage ajusted for AP v AR
-------DRX----XG
AR0----562----520
AR1----450----416
AR2----360----208
AR3----288----104
So to put it into one sentence. DRX are better no matter the target.
But you will pay for it with an extra build and 3 times the resources.
Also concerning minefields, 20 mines carrying 5 charges each will fill a minefield all the way up. So I usually sell them in crates of 20 and then break the remaining 5 up as singles.

Minefields only go off on player targets which are always either AR0 or AR1, so the simple XG mine is quite satisfactory.

I made 10,000 mines about 4 weeks ago on bloodfin. At first I tried 15k a crate.. no dice then I try 10k a crate.. still no luck. finaly i put em for sale at 5k a crate I sold some but not many so i said screw it and started placing them myself. Now I only have a hand full.. the bad thing is I was selling all my other weapons just not those. They where high in dmg to.. so go figure.
You do realize it would take 3 factories about 2-3 weeks to run 10,000 mines, right? You can only get 1,000 per factory run at max. Are you sure you did 10,000?
I sell my XG mines at 12k a crate and one person came and bought them all. I do a fairly brisk trade in mines, but I'm fairly well known for munitions, so if people want the big stuff, they stop by my shop.
I'm in the process of running 1,000 Anti-Vehicular mines as we speak. THe components are all done and by tomorrow or Friday at the latest, they will all be done. I can't wait to hear from a customer (hopefully a rebel one) that it thwarted an impending raid.
