First thing is that the doom and his mines pretty often are placed in front of fighters but lead point is far forward to anticipaited trajectory. Doom want to detonate based on time to datonate not on try to place mines as close as you can in predicted trajectory and becouse of that they sometimes place mines near friendly ships.
Second thing is, dooms really like eat own and friendly mines and often suffer more demage from friendy fire, even if they have very high chance to escape from blast radious. Third thing is "Open a comm link" Is there something you want to iplement in next update?
If something is not underestandable I can draw this hah
Sorry for my english.
