In-Game Description

This Saber Mine from AMR was once a very popular ordinance, but has since become less appealing in the face of inexpensive automatic turrets. Nonetheless, many travelers always have a batch of Sabers on board, just to be safe.

Notes

This item only appears in shops after the player has purchased the Valkyrie add-on. The Mine simply remains in space when deployed until a hostile ship goes near it, then it sticks to the ship and explodes.

If you are way too close to an enemy ship, the mine may instantly stick to the enemy when deployed, dealing massive damage. If you use it simultaneously after shooting a beam, or a high power laser, it will guarantee a kill, if not tons of damage.

Trivia

  • Despite the description, Auto-Turrets costs at least 200,000+ credits, which are not cheap at all when compared to the cheap unit price of AMR Saber, even in great numbers as it's the cheapest mine avaliable. To top it off, NPCs do not use mines at all.
  • In the Valkyrie trailer, it mentioned that the AMR Saber's casing is made of Pyresium and is highly EMP-resistant. However, mines do not even have a hitbox, meaning they are completely invulnerable unless set off.
