Randomly losing 25 hull points a second in certain gravity wells

from Sins Forums

I've been playing this game a long time, and only just now have I seen this. I first noticed it when I attacked a pirate base and as I was trying to capture it I noticed my capitol ships taking damage every second from something, yet no enemies were left in the pirate base's gravity well. I looked to see if there were any random events but there aren't. I have E4X as my only mod, and this is fact because of the screenshot below. I needed to have my captiol ship that could heal ships envoy with my colony frigates to capture the pirate starbase. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to remove the 25 damage/second issue?

You might want to post this up on the E4X mod thread. Goafan77 would may know why (as it is his mod) or would like to be made aware of it if its a bug.

E4X? I remember that this mod has the changed mines, dealing hull damage constantly instead of blowing up, am I right? If yes, then this is a feature not a bug. Send some scouts and kill the mines, thats all.

Indeed, yes it is. Basically I thought mines were not that effective in their current form and where an annoyance for a human to replace even if they worked. So I made them do damage over time and some deal extra debuffs, like that chance to hit, rather than explode. This was also meant to prevent you losing ships due to bad Sins pathfinding if your ship happened to wander into a minefield for a few seconds, it wouldn't be a big deal. Trying to fight in a minefield for a period of time however, is a VERY, VERY bad idea.

 

Scouts can still destroy them though, either by its ability directly or once that ability has been cast once by revealing the mine so that other ships can destroy them more quickly.
