I have questions

[SlickPBW]

1. Can NPCs or CMDRs Detect mines launched by me?

2. Is there any in-game way while outfitting to determine if a potentially under sized distributor will support boost?

3. Exactly what determines my detection range in SC?

4. Exactly what determines my own ship detectability in SC?

5. I keep accidentally restocking ammo when I have mostly undepleted premium ammo. Of course that converts it back to normal. Any tips on not doing this?

6. Is there any way to heal NPC shields with, for example healing beams? I have been reluctant to gain bounties to experiment.

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, and point-defense will pew-pew them away.

2-4. Not sure, sorry.

5. Put a sticky note on your monitor that says “Do not click Restock”.

6. Yes, healing beams should work on NPC ships, but admittedly I haven’t tried. They might shoot back, though.

6. No, healing beams work on your wingmen only. Against NPCs they function like normal beams, so will get you an assault bounty.
