First time using the forums so please redirect me if needed.
But anyways, the other day I was playing a skirmish match in my Templar AE. I was being attacked by a fighter that I couldn’t track well with my lasers so I deployed my mines. It successfully applied damage to the intended target, but it also damaged me eventhough the description says *Only enemy ships recieve damage*. In the kill report, besides other damage I took, I recieved about 25,000 HP of thermal damage from my own mines
This is not a bug but an intended mechanics called “SelfFire” which is a standard mechanic with all the explosive weapons/munitons. You can deal damage to yourself with your explosive weapons and/or missiles.
Ah, ty for replies. Makes perfect sense [Yes I’m looking at you Mortar Coils >:)]
It happens the same with the guided torpedo if you fire it and detonate it right away to kill a circling interceptor, or with the EM torpedo and the interceptor rockets. Well, it happens with all kind of explosive weapons (all missiles and some weapons) but those I have mentioned are the most usual source of self fire damage.
