Well... 4 mp so to break even you have to kill 1 destroyer per 2 deployers... So, vulnerable vs. other class1 and inefficient against troikas.... Arrrrrrgh those @#@#@!#@!%$#^%$#^%$%$^%$%$#^%$#^%$#^#^#@^#@^#@^$#@#@!!!!! troikas

what is? the mines?

[tec_server]

the mines become part of the enemy fleet, like nano virus's, so the syntax reads "modifies in your own fleet".

[darklim]

Ahhh, Thanks

what would happen if your c1 *with Mine Deployers) attacked the c2 directly? would the mines blow up the same subbattle?

Good question but I think they only work after the class 1 battle during the class 2 but you can try in the battle simulator. I think sabs are better for killing class 2 during the class 1 battle.

i wouldnt think sabotage fighters is a better anti c2 ship. they only deal out one damage for 1mp. while mine deployer is 10 damage per 4mp.

The mine-deployers create mines in your C2, so if you fight directly with the C2, the mine-deployers will create the mines and then get killed by your opponent's C2.
Then your C2 (including the mines) will attack your opponent's C2.

Mines can be less good because you can't destroy a whole class 2 with them from an enemy. If you put to many many mines in someones class 2 they start blowing eachother up instead of the enemy class 2. So sabotage fighters can be better, but it is all about the situation. Mine deployers are expeniseve( 4 mp) but can take down a destroyer which is 8 mp. On the other hand, if the enemy has low class 1, say 10, you can with 2001 sabotage fighters take down 200 class 2 with only loosing 10 sabotage fighters. The reason you would need 1 extra is incase the enemy's class 1 shoots first, but after that all sabotage fighters get to shoot before they are destroyed.
So it's all about the situation, when should you use sabotage fighters( not good when enemy has alrge class 1) and when to use mine deployers, with which you most probobly can't destroy the whole class 2 of an enemy.
