yeah if there would be a blueprint that would be awesome

Is there some blueprint of this? Would be really nice!

have you ever tried outfitting these things with grinders, essentially haveing these a swarm of these things eat a large ship and still being ready for seconds

Its very cool. I like the video.

Aweome job mate, very clever.
Geko L*76G 16 Sep, 2014 @ 11:08am 
im acctually gonna make turrets from these, instead of the thrusters enabling the turrets fire (no one steal my idea otr i eat your face
Geko L*76G 16 Sep, 2014 @ 11:02am 
cool but i litterally watched laststandgamers make one too (search on utube). sorry.

There is a easy way to make this kind of mine useless... if you have a missile (not the missiles made by the assemblers) ...
SpiritOfDeath 15 Sep, 2014 @ 3:17pm 
you could make one of the nuke type bombs so one could take out almost all if not all of the ship with just one

@Geko, I'm not familiar with who that is. There have been a lot of follower/seeker drones that have hit the Workshop since sensors were released. This is totally 100% my own design which I figured out on my own in parallel to all the others that you've probably seen.

totaly and utterly nothing like lsg's desighn i take it?

Terrifying.

Ahh Minefeilds now All Thats Left is to Make em Invisible
(like Thats Ever Gonna Happen)

@PKs|Strelok Yes, that would work. But only if the torp were within 50 meters.
Strelok 13 Sep, 2014 @ 8:58am 
These mines are wonderful! What about putting your system on a torpedo for aim correction?
GamerNorr 13 Sep, 2014 @ 7:03am 
I I like the things you have come up whit :)

Author is a genius
JCapt 12 Sep, 2014 @ 9:29am 
Cool!
LethalOwl 11 Sep, 2014 @ 7:26am 
@BizzyBeast Some of the sensors are triggering gyroscopes to aim correctly, while others then control the thrusters.
TorBomb 11 Sep, 2014 @ 12:18am 
I have a very powerful computer, If you send me the map with this minefield, I can take a better video for you. also, wicked good job m8.
BizzyBeast 10 Sep, 2014 @ 3:52pm 
Really cool! I dont get how they track though... It seems like its a little 'ship' and the sensors kick on its systems, I just dont get how they turn and go right at players!

So.....Deliciously.......Evil..........

"your mine" - almost exactly an oxymoron.
Tempest 10 Sep, 2014 @ 12:37pm 
no problem thanks for your mine it works way better than the one i made for my idea
Throttle  [author] 10 Sep, 2014 @ 12:01pm 
@Prohet_01 - hmmm... that might actually be possible. The challenge there is how to signal to the other mines that something is up. Right now, the way to do this is to have a mine that sees an objective/target eject a piece of ore before going after it. Neighboring mines see the ore and fly toward it until it sees the Target.
Prophet_01 10 Sep, 2014 @ 10:51am 
I wonder if u can make it that mines start following each other if one locks onto a target. Could be done by leaving a small spot unobserved by the sensors. u place a mine right there. if that one locks onto a ship it moves out of that spot. the other mine will now detect it and follow it. could be quite devastating
Throttle  [author] 10 Sep, 2014 @ 10:20am 
@komots. Thanks. That's great idea. Sensors don't yet have faction discrimination though, so you risk having the mine go after you instead.
Tempest 10 Sep, 2014 @ 10:03am 
nice mines. I suggest making them into mines that u drop behind a ship to stop other following you tho not making a mine field will be much more effective to drop some as somebody is chaseing you
Prophet_01 10 Sep, 2014 @ 5:47am 
Nicely done. It's quite fast and maneuverable
Dragonlord3344 10 Sep, 2014 @ 4:43am 
Smart idea

It's a gif.
