Once a mine is in place, it usually doesn't care about friend or foe. Why? Because smart mines cost more than dumb ones. BTW Did you ever notice that in animes where the space ships have rockets (Like in Macross), the rockets disconnect from the ship and travel downwards before launchling like they are in a gravity? Hehe

The biggest problem is that we just have no idea what the technology will be like in the future.
Heck why would it not be possible to have something like Ideon afterall? Back to the topic, with our current technology I think the combat portrayed in Planetes (while tiny) is probably quite realistic. |

Anyway, the point is that spacemines are fundamentally different from landmines. |

That thing about space war fair I hate the most is when they have the bridge of the ship in clear view maybe even a window....that is not just stupid but suicidle the bridge needs to be in about the center so the ship can take some damage befor its all over and there should never be a window on a space ship NEVER!!

or your ammobay is about to explode but is some cases one can wonder why they didn't take the time to paint a bullseye on the bridge before they left dock? (i.e. Macross) Hell, if you're suicidal anyway, why not add some good ol' Gallows humor

ANd honestly with a nuke exploding less then a 1km away,in or out isn't going to change much.
For mines the ep 71 of logh wich is available on AS is pretty good(mobile mines in an asteroid corridor).You should all see it(for the mines and the fact that the battle of mar-adetta is one of the greatest of all history). watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh, watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh, watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh, watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh,watch logh. There,if you still refuse you really are stuborn.

No,there's plenty of gravity in space.The mines have an orbit around the planet,the sun,an asteroid etc.the satellites stay in orbit because of the gravity of the earth,but since they reached a very high speed they don't fall.And earth is moving very fast around the sun,you just don't realize it.
A ship can modify their trajectory but certainly won't be enough to attract the mine.But what you can do is a smart mine with a gravity detector,when it detect a variation in the gravity field,it goes toward it and explode. It's possible but a gravity detector is probably unnecesserily complex,an infrared detecor should be enough.

If you are able to escape earth, you would need to have at least a minimum orbiting speed of mach 24. Once you reach space, the vacuum would offer no resistance and your inertia will allow you to continue moving at that speed. Astronauts actually do space walks at mach 24. if you are totally still, with no velocity, you would immediately fall towards the object biggest with largest mass. |

But no, gravity at that scale is not strong enough to make that kind of attraction significantly dangerous in the short term. And technically, space does have gravity. Even in orbit, you are being significantly pulled by gravity, you're just missing the horizon while falling. Weightlessness experienced in orbit is simply freefall. Although gravity does get weaker from distance, so you can safely ignore things really far away from you. Unless they're really big. I mean, the Earth is orbiting the sun and the sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, which probably orbits the center of some galactic cluster which is having a significant gravitational effect on you from an inconceivably huge distance! You just don't notice because everything around you is being pulled too. Quote:

How is the mine deployed? Does the mine layer stop and place mines or move and place? If the mine is placed by a 'stationary' vehicle, it would just freefall to the heaviest object. If it was placed while moving, it would continue moving in the direction of the vehicle and be accelerated towards the heaviest object. Objects in space dont fall towards the nearest object, but instead, more towards the heaviest object. Does the mine have propulsion on its own? Or is it a dumb mine? A dumb mine without any propulsion would behave like what I said above, but a self propelling mine would be able to station itself in a spot. And only a self propelled mine may be able to move towards approaching targets. |
