User:SPARTAN-08BLAM!/BACKBITER Anti Single Ship Mine

=Overview= The BACKBITER is a non-nuclear space mine meant for destroying singleships. Some type of space craft will lay a somewhat thick field of mines in front of oncoming enemy single ships. The mines use special sensors to locate and attache to enemy ships. They do this using a 100 meter cable tipped with a very sharp steel harpoon. Then, the mine will "reel" itself in then will explode after it gets a safe distance away from the rest of the mines.Mines have two ports where a cable can leave both are right across from each other.

Sensors
The sensors have a range of 100 meters and are connected to the main ECU.

Method
Once the sensor field is crossed it will very quickly get a correct angle with small thruster and shoot the harpoon with a charge similar to ship thrusters. The large amount of energy is enough to allow the harpoon to pierce a Seraphs shields and latch on from a distance of 50 m. Any farther and the harpoon will not have sufficient energy to pierce a kinetic barrier. The mine then reels itself in and detonate it's C-12 charge.

Placement
In a field a wall is made so each mine's sensors overlap at least two meters of each other. Mines have two ports where a cable can leave both are right across from each other. Rows alternate between the ports facing vertically and horizontally. If the Harpoon doesn't make contact then the cable will automatically retract.
