<div class="IPBDescription">[]--------------------------------------</div> I see a lot of mines that when placed on the floor or ceiling don't have a red laser connected to em - I can understand that for when they're on the floor but when on the ceiling they don't act as a mine as much as a trip mine, so they should have a laser.

Mines that are placed on walls become trip mines.
Advantage: most time enemies are on the bottom
Disatantage: for Skulks easy to run around, they make soise them narines trip over.
Mines on Wall:
Advantage: larger field of protection
Disatvantage: that mines can be "defused" with "parasite". - Long red lines make NO sense.
Mines on the top:
Disatvantage: Missing feature.
not sure about the parasite one

That cant be true......
And yeah parasiting them works. But it takes awhile because they do have health, i think.

are they YOUR mines?
2) mines placed on any other surface will emit a laser trip wire. These are better used to deter aliens, rather than kill (though if an alien jumps through, it will of course kill them). Use mines in this capacity to block access to areas - for instance, vents.
3) +using a mine will not turn the laser on/off.
Sometimes I would like to plant mines on the floor so that they are close to each other but not close enough to set off a chain reaction.
i didnt think much about it sence i thought it was a feuture
I really hope that you were trying for an 'ironic joke', Digital. Really.. really I do. Mostly as mining the TOP of vents is twice as effective as mining the bottom, as Aliens usually are watching the floor, but will still set off the top ones.
Contact-mining the TOP of a door is one of the most effective Skulk-killers, when used in conjunction with a single trip-laser across the middle... They see it, see the landmines, but don't think to check the TOP for mines, and go BOOM. Alternately, Marines who DON'T mine the top of their doors get their faces eaten by me, when I scoot past the four tripmines and three contact-mines on the floor by simply ceiling-walking past them.

What about parasite? I'm pretty sure that only acid rockets can take out mines...
