[GZG] Re: Mines

I could also imagine a stealthy hunter killer robotic vessel that sits plugged into a widespread sensor net, possibly even in hyper space and when an intruder is detected it powers up and attacks. This kind of thing would be much more cost effective than millions of mines.

If the enemy can detect the sensor net emissions then you could use this to your advantage steering the prey further into the field before attacking. This would depend on how smart the defence grid programming would be.

Very nice idea! Yeah, much more cost effective to have one attack platform and a zillion sensors.
