Hello everybody
as you can read, i want to recreate the Self Replicating Mines From DS9.
The idea is simple:
- The Mines are already in game used "add ships" or the mine control with the shuttle launcher framework!
I do not edit that one, so i do not need to ask permissions to the creator of those mods. If the mine is from one of those mods, please tell me, because i want to give the mine a hardpoint which is a little less so they can maintain a distance of a minimum of 20/30 km without getting destroyed by their neighbor! Also i will give them for the cloaking part, a cloaking device and the cloakattackdev in the ships file in the custom/ships folder.
- There should be buttons called "Activate MineField", "Deactivate MineField". This will activate or deactivate the Actually "Self replication" part.
- As the activate button is activated, a list of all mines will be created in a array(?) which contains the name and the current location of the mine!
- if something is getting destroyed, the script will check if all mines are still there if not, the ship will create the mine again after 10 seconds after the explosion, on the same location and with the same name as the mine that was destroyed, this way it looks like the mine is getting replicated.
- because of the cloak attack (like used with the reman scimitar, which also immediately cloaks and keeps cloaked until you are able to damage the cloaking device
- There should be a check in the activate button, which will only set the button to active when there are at least 2 mines available!
- if possible and considered necessary i want to use the distortion scan mod for the part that WE can see the location of the mine, but this one should show the names of the mines!
I Know i need to ask permissions, and i will, as soon as i know i can do this.
Ask permissions to:
- creator of the mine (Adonis) Granted
- Creator of the distortion scan mod - BCS-TNG (I believe)
If i Forgot someone in this list or it is incorrect, please tell me!!

I want to do this myself, but i need some input, like more ideas. I also want to know if there is a need for this modification!
this is my First mod, although i have a little experience in editing hardpoints and other change in mods for personal use
