Well, considering that these mines, especially dispersed so far and wide, can do maybe 1/60th the damage of a TIE Devil, I'd say that there's nothing to worry about.

Eh the whole idea is fubar, he should have to do an RP where he goes out and sets them up with no less than 2500 words per planet. Hell I didn't even get that much decency when I'm using a known canon defense.

Isstal, this isn't your fault because you weren't here. But you're not allowed to do this.

Given that, to block military vessels, the amount of sheer mines is staggering, it has already been agreed that even completely blocking ONE SYSTEM is impossible -- blocking your borders, light years across? Uh.

No.

Civilian traffic, you can block. Military traffic doesn't follow your laws or your spacelanes.

Chadd tried this. He got turned down.

There's no reason that you get to do it to the power of infinitum.

this form of mine was developed at the same time as the Morrt droid project. They ahd two functions. The first was to explode and take out its intended target. Second, it would send out a communication burst via hyperspace channel to the ship that launched it, indicating its position and its success. - <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> CUSWE<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->

not take out disable. 1 can do a whole squadron at least but it's fairly temporary. you can do a cold start in aboiut 5 minutes unless you're to damaged. but in that five minutes you have no shields nomaneouverability etc.

They disable ships, sometimes do minor damage, and wipe the memories clear. You know what that means?

Even if you could get all your ships moving within five minutes, yiou'd have to replot the entire trip and reprogram all sorts of droids that have reverted to their factory hard-wired programming.

Man... this thing could really screw a droid ship over...

there might be 10 droid ships in the galaxy at the most. And you know all civilians will hate you
