Mine issue. Should this work?
plasticpanzers:
I have used this design before and it has worked but I have several patterns of these around a warp
point and an enemy 65,000 construction ship is blissfully building away on it. I have both Active and
EM sensor buoys at the point and around it too. There are 18 of these on the point and 18 in a star
pattern at 5 waypoints around it at 160k.

I don't really know, as it's been years since I've used mines and/or sensor buoys, but I'd say that's your problem right there. I'm guessing the mines won't fire until the construction ship comes 10,000 km closer to one of your waypoints.
plasticpanzers:
I have 18 mines right on the warp point as well as a passive and active sensor bouy. The other mines are laid in a
star pattern at 160k so that they will trigger when a target gets slightly closer. The sensor buoys see for about 3mk
each and easily pick up the 60000+ ton construction ship but no mine has fired. The ship passed thru one warp point and
built a gate on the mined point then went to another warp point and started building there and the mines there just ignored
the ship too, tho all mines and sensor buoys could see the ship.
Erik L:
I think Father Tim is saying your mines won't fire until 150k range because of the separation range attribute.

If the ship finished a gate and then moved, you were probably using very long (1 day +) increments at the time. The ship probably moved to the other side of the mines launch distance in a single increment.
