Auto-Tracking Smart Mines

Using sensors to control gyros and thrusters, a mine in a minefield can track a passing ship and chase it down to deliver its payload. If the target object gets out of range of the sensors, these mines are equipped to stop and wait again.

This world contains asmall section of a minefield of about 30 mines spaced 60-75 meters apart as a simulation. Each mine has about 9 sensors and as of the build noted in the video, the minefield can't be much larger without significant impact to frame rate. From my experience with the sensors, the more you have in a small area the slower your frame rate tends to be. The video has been sped up to appear as if in real-time

For mines, I find this design to be a good balance between size, agility and Warhead yield.

Honestly there isn't much sense in setting up a minefield like this to protect your base. Frame rate issues aside, enemy ship-board weapon systems can easily take the mines out once in range. This is just a fun experiment to see how something like this could work.


Update: 9/11
I've re-uploaded the video with a nicer frame rate and will be publishing an empty world with a larger minefield with more mines soon. I will link it here.
