BTW, it just occured to me, if I know where the bad guys are going after they jump in (like another jump point or one of my colonies), then I can lay a mine field, give the m,ine layer a slow go to command, advance the clock, lay more mines, advance the clock, lay more mines. Of course they will see the active sensors so maybe it wouldn't work.
Can passive sensor work with a mine? IE, if I put low fidelity thermals on on the buoy, with MIRV's with active seekers, will the passive contacts trip the separation and then allow the MIRV's to start their own active terminal guidance? In that case, seeding the path at intervals would work nicely.
