I hope they don't make rebel fighters accessible to imps on the Death Star.  But as I understand it from what you're saying, these trip mines are effective against vehicles?  If the sniper/scout carries them, I would assume that they would only be effective against infantry.  That would be interesting for fighter pilots tho.  I wonder if the code would allow the mines to be activated with statics, i.e. moving the mine into a static via vehicle

aha, I see, that would be pretty sweet.  Are they employing any actual anti-air mines in particular?  Say something that would operate similar to the claymore's detonation system, but against air vehicles.  If anyone played Mashtuur city before they made the blackhawks weak, one of the few effective defenses that the MEC team employed against the blackhawk was putting packs of C4 on the flagpoles, waiting for the BH to try and cap it, and then blowing the crap out of 'em.  If this could be implemented with anti-air mines, then it would force transports to unload in other places than the standard "right on top of the control point", they would have to unload troops that would have to deactivate the mines.

hmmm, in reference to the bouncing betty mine code from BF:V, someone was mentioning how Dice took out a lot of the old code from BF:V for the BF:2 engine.  I'm not sure if that would work, but it sounds cool.

The hovering repulsor mines sound better tho.  I don't think that they would be that hard to implement, I'm sure there must be a way to make things that will stay stationary even if they are deployed in the air.  There must be a way to give it a vertical thrust that would exactly counter gravity, and no horizontal thrust.  Just like launching a missile that only has enough thrust to balance against gravity, so if it is pointed perfectly vertical, it wouldn't move.
