Magnet Mines:
- Four mines magnetically levitate and orbit around your craft, blocking projectiles with magnetic repulsion with a small chance of being destroyed; the more are destroyed, the higher the chance the next one will also be destroyed due to the weaker magnetic field. You can press the fire button to deploy them one at a time, where they become stationary explosives which don't do a lot of damage, but can affect ships as if they were hit by a Disruptor Bolt. Of course, these individual mines would be extremely easy to destroy, since they don't have the magnetic fields of other mines to protect them. Pressing the Discard button will instead launch all of your remaining mines behind you in quick succession, bouncing wildly like grenades until they detonate on their own. It is worth noting that each mine has a slight homing effect and a considerable area of effect. Again, they don't do a lot of damage, but they have plenty of unpleasant side effects like reversing your controls or jamming your weapon system.
