Firing mines

Is there any way you can get a weapon(Turret) to be put on mine and get it to fire when you drop it behind and also make it so that it just sits where you drop it firing at the enemy without chasing after them and exploding?

hi

well,i like your idea.though i'm not sure if it is possible...try creating a weapon hardpoint on the mine.how to make it fire...no idea (use HardCMP,it's alot easier adding the hardpoint)

I'll have ago at the CMP (Even though i'm the worst person in the world at using it!) but where in the ini files would i put the load outs. If anyone has made one of these mines could you send it to [email protected] or post it in the downloads section.

I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

If anything, you might be able to drop a weapon platform from your cargo hold, but I don't know how it would choose who to shoot since you wouldn't be able to set a rep to it.

Seen it done before in a mod. Should just be able to switch the ammo entry, but me has not tried it yet. Fun idea though...nice addition for slow moving cap ships.

@mini_me
Do you know what mod that was? because that would be interesting on how to create my mine.

I'm wondering what mechanism would shoot the turret after you drop it. Maybe possible for it to shoot one time with a lot of thought, since the mine would be able to explode - once.

And then?

Duhhh.... I've got better things to do, like - sleep! - but I'm very interested, so if you find a way do please post it.
