This | This Kilauea class ammunition ship has been repurposed as a minelayer, and has the ability to lay mines both in combat and on the strategic map screen. Pressing {{Psx|R1}} or {{SS|A}} has the minelayer lay a minefield that damages ships that pass through it. | ||
In tactical combat, the minelayer must be moving away from its opponent at all times, and lay as many mines as possible while fleeing the battle. The mines are magnetic and will automatically home in on targets. Its biggest weakness will be against ships that manage to get out of its rear arc, and attack it from either the side or the front. | In tactical combat, the minelayer must be moving away from its opponent at all times, and lay as many mines as possible while fleeing the battle.
