Is this possible to implement?

This would be a great way to slow down or halt enemy advances.
Either by them being a building at low cost and low tactial points requirements or as a capship ability.
That way you could even use it to cover your retreats.
If it would do damage depending on ship size it would be awesome: larger ships are toasted if they attempt to fly through, while smaller craft can pass relatively unharmed.
Also it being cloaked and for example only being visible for scouts would be cool.
That way you would some reconissaince in the later game phases aswell.

Not to mention the fact that phase lanes have a limited entry area, and thereby a limited quantified space where ships must be....

Yeah you could totally mine that, space, water, or land, you just need an area that is limited that the enemy will be on. Phase Lanes are essentially bridges... you can mine a bridge you can mine a phase lane entrance.

Besides, they would just be missiles turned off and waiting for target, they don't need to wait for you to bump into them! They can fly at you!

further explanation

kosc mines love you to death



these are tiny mines that are able to move. they attach to your hull until your so bogged down you can't move.



kyro mines NO you to death.



these follow you around the grav well. whenever you try to do anything like leave the grav well, fire a weapon, or kill the mine. it tells you you cant do that and whatever you were trying to do fails.


yarlen mines tell you to wait until thursday,



i'll tell you thursday

Rofl I don't know, with those expanded explanations I'm beginning to think kryo mines might be worse. But then, only having your weapons/abilities/engines/whatever work on Thursdays might be bad too

And then there are the people that turn the planet or asteorid into one huge mine by filling it with explosives and the whole system goes BOOM!
