Mines are dropped, or placed, where the enemy are expected to travel. Space-mines are attracted to ships shortly after they are set,allowing the minelayer to escape its own deadly deposits. Mines typically have an IFF detector to prevent friendly-fire casualties.Type ECM DAM COST SIZE ENC

Medusa Energy Bomb: this exception weapon system is listed for the price to install with one munition. They are a controlledplasma explosion that radiates from the ship in all directions and are a last-ditch weapon – using the Medusa will shut down yourflux shield so you better hope it works. Flux shield will begin charging up again, as normal, immediately after the blast. Blast rangehas a base of 50 kilometres and is halved for each 10 kilometres out from there, until damage is less than one KP, where it isconsidered dissipated and harmless after that.
MISSILES
Missiles are high-speed explosive delivery systems that are usually guided by a target-acquisition-computer using either built-insensors, or a lock-on provided by a third party (usually the craft that fired the missile).Type TAC RNG DAM (KP) COST SIZE ENC
