FAQ Weapons Section #s 11&12
11. If the trigger areas for two Cloaked Mines overlap, does an enemy ship passing through the overlapping trigger area sustain damage from both Cloaked Mines?
No. In this case the ship would only be damaged by one of the Cloaked Mines.
However, if a ship passes through (and completely out of) the trigger area of one Cloaked Mine and into the trigger
area of another Cloaked Mine, then the ship sustains damage from both Cloaked Mines.
12. If a ship starts its move within Range 1 of an enemy's Cloaked Mine, does it take damage when it moves this turn?
This works the same as the normal rules for a Minefield Token (see p. 23), just with a wider range.
If the ship moves beyond the Cloaked Mine's Range, then it does not receive damage again this turn.
But if it stays within the Cloaked Mine's Range, then it is does receive damage again this turn.
A: In the regards to number 11, bold section, I take this as your ship is starting completely out of the CM's trigger area. You then perform a maneuver that carries your ship into, through, and completely out of a first CM and your ship ends in another CM's trigger area that is not an overlapping area of two CMs. In this case you take damage from both.
B: But, if your ship starts within one CM's trigger area and you perform a maneuver that carries your ship out of the CM's trigger area and then into another non overlapping CM's trigger area, you only take damage from the second CM and not the first since, according to rule 12 and pg 23 of rulebook, there is no penalty when separating from a CM/mine.
There has been some debate that in instance B that your ship still receives damage from both CMs.
