justice served! good job!
curious, what do mines actually do? in all honesty I have not used or seen one in my entire time of play....
Couple videos I recorded just over a year ago that show some mines:

Miners commonly use ion disruptor and reverberating cascade together to paralyze vessels while knocking out the shield generator. Some ships can also afford to fit shiftlock cannister (reboots FSD).
Ion disruptor only exists on mines and reverberating cascade on mines has the advantage of a much greater ammo pool than torpedoes. Downside is that mines take a lot of skill to use well.
PDTs are handy against mines in general and can even cause them to detonate close enough to the mine layer to hit them with their own effects. FA off is a pretty good counter to ion, as you'll keep moving rather than be frozen in place when and if you are struck.
stoked about beating a cheap ganker?
sure i guess i was pleased?
and they did. if you watch the video.
what - you think hes hull magicked its way to 20%?

Amazing the amount of salt here.
The video is exactly what it says it is.
How to beat a mine layer cobra.
Never said i was stoked.
Never said i was bragging.
It is what it is. If you all want to ingnore the fact that cobra build kills big sips plennty and its a real problem and common in elite - go ahead.
Denial is a powerfull tool most "pilots" use.

thanks o7!
Mines a re a cheap tool used by cheap pilots.
they plop em all around you, like they are some kind of autistic dog, and they destroy your shield gen.
Thats all you need to know really.
From who? Little 'ole me?
Glad my couple posts count as an "amazing amount of salt"
cool pic.
The easiest way is to equip emissive seekers. Some of them will come thorugh, damage their weapons and the mine launcher malfunctions that can't be avoided will cause further external module damage until all weapons are dead. Forcing a bomber to retreat. Furthermore, emissive lasers are a hard counter since there are no defenses available vs emissive.
A ganker is someone who gangs up on his target, or someone who only fights targets who are at an important disadvantage.
That wasn't a ganker.

Ahahahahha Maximum easy mode engaged. C'mon man, even if he is a ganker, he's picking targets with ten times the HP values, hugely bigger guns and using very skill based weapons.
One of your opening lines: "Let the turrets and fighter do all the work"
^That right there is why I dislike big ship pilots.

Turrets & Fighters is what makes big ships fun to pilot. Kite uses PA which should be noted. That gives me ideas for my vette. I'm bored with the MC build. Variety is the spice of life. I'm glad ED offers us a vast array of tactical options for different combat styles.
