Did anyone see something of this feature in the game yet?
I read about it before but didnt see anything like this.

good question, i´m wondering too. since we´re in midgame, the tech for it should already appear in the tech-cards i guess.

To spread them in 3D? Magnetic mines which react to a ships Hull. Self replicating mines. Self approaching mines.
But the purpose of these mines is damaging ships.

they wrote something like blocking important hyperlanes, dont know if this is just a feature for this specific ftl type :/
I think in HOI it was also planed at the start of the series but was never implemented

Anybody calculated how many mines you need to enclose the oort cloud of Sol?

In space? THE space? Where no man has gone before space? You know how big space is? You would need "quite some" mines to evenn cover tiny, tiny, TINY places
And magnetic fields that could cover those distances would disclose a mine field over vast distances rendering it useless

Why you complane, its a scince fiction game, it doesnt have to be so realistic. would it the timeline should be a bit longer to have your pop covering a whole planet...

Welcome in the world of video games, where fun is more important than realism

It was said that space stations could funnel warp engine ships into certain spots and trap them. A mine field would make sense in that cotext.

Technically, it's feasible to just tie dozens of missiles into a pod and leave it drifting around a system next to the most likely approach routes and / or wormhole locations. Get in range, get shot.

I think they also said minefields could be an addition to space stations.
Well, if you put minefields in the game, you'll get people complaining that hey, it's unrealistic.
Dont put minefields in the game, there are people complaining that screw realism, we want minefields!
Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
And my personal 2 cents. Minefields? In the vastness of space????
Why not ? We're almost making a minefield of debris around Earth - throw some extra explosives up there and you would make it very difficult for any vessel to approach (or leave) the planet.
They were a Defence station 'aura' thing, so if a battle took place near a station they would take damage
minefields will be special modules thignies that can be fitted on space stations and large ships(which i guess wil counter ships trying to blast you from up and close)
