Instantly Arming Mines
While flying on a straight course at speeds between -65.7 to -122.3m/s, mines launched in the opposite direction will instantly reach their deployment speed and arm themselves. It is possible to achieve the same effect while manoeuvring but it will be more difficult because the ship's momentum will affect the mines speed as well. This is highly effective against an opponent actively pursuing the player as he won't be able to avoid the mines and thus receive catastrophic damage as all the shrapnel will collide with his ship.
