The Nu Minefield preview is in a way incomplete, so i end up drawing circles all the time.
And since i don’t wish to calclulate each minefield, here are the most common sizes:
Mk8 torpedoes when you are in sweeping range:
md1: Mines: 1000 / Radius 32
md2: Mines: 2000 / Radius 45
md3: Mines: 3000 / Radius 55
md4: Mines: 4000 / Radius 63
md5: Mines: 5000 / Radius 71
md6: Mines: 6000 / Radius 78
md7: Mines: 7000 / Radius 84
md8: Mines: 8000 / Radius 90
md9: Mines: 9000 / Radius 95
md0: Mines: 10000 / Radius 100
mda: Mines: 22500 / Radius 150
Interesting: The biggest minefield one will ever see, will have a radius of 146 lightyears.
When laying a maximum size minefield that no one sweeps, the decay of five percent will destroy 1125 mines, which is the equivalent of 14 mk7 torpedoes or the sweeping power of 3 heavy phasers (webs: 4).
