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.

So to put it into one sentence. DRX are better no matter the target.

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

But don't you get a damage % bonus for each AP above the target's? I think it's +25%? I don't remember for sure...so the DRX would get a +50% on an AP1 target?

Yes, but the XG has higher base stats so after applying the AP bonus to the DRX, they end up doing about the same damage.

Thanks for the clarification!

According to the data that Soar provided in calculating the damage with AP, it does appear that the DRX mines are better regardless of the target's AR. What do you mean that the mines only go off on AR0 or AR1 targets??

Even at AR0 and AR1, the DRX is marginally better but may not warrent all the extra materials/costs it requires over the XG. However, if the mines are going off on targets with AR2 or 3, it appears worth it.

Mines are only triggered by players, who will always be either unarmored AR1 since there is no medium/heavy player armor.

did i miss the boat? what happened too the mine demand? they seemed too be all the rage for faction town, now hardly anyone buys them...

Yeah mines work and they are a nasty suprise for the unwary enemy faction because 95% of all minefields are empty.

I have a kill count of 5 jedi that have died to my mines (that I am aware of)

well made mines with good damage power ups on them hit pretty hard.

Any idea which mine is most effective?

i make that kind too but also forgot the name. i hit 819 dps on them today...is that average?

But have you compared the stats to the other mines, post-cu?

I always just made the flat red and white mines I cant remember the exact name.
