And here we are. Those new weapon appears to be smart mines. Nasty. =) As we can see, sometimes new technology can even determinate an outcome of huge battle.
Beautiful and deadly.

I wonder why Admiral Spoor so unmotivated... Usually she is quite energetic when it's about fight...

The scenes where Samson communicate with his crewmates are VERY touching.

Pretty good visual effects for a low-budget.

Dividing & Smart Mines? That can be rather dangerous.

Cluster mines...just perfect. The Basroil was lucky to get out of that.

Oh no! that one dude died T_T . . . haha, anyways, I'm really not sure why those types of mines were some secret uber weapon, you would think with how advanced both sides are, those would have been made a long time ago.

For a civilization with advanced technology, you'd think the Abhs would have developed some sort of super weapon or at least have something on part with those smart mines. At first I thought it's just a couple of proximity mines but it can divide, hone and pierce ships. Nasty.

The director did a good job of making this feel like a real battle. The Basroil keeps narrowly avoiding death and ally ships are lost; the never-ending stream of explosions were as beautiful as they were chilling. Having to abandon the escape pods was a particularly nice touch, since it conveys the direness of the situation.

Considering that "the real battle hasn't even started", any attack ship crew that's part of the defense force will be doing well just to survive the battle.

The real battle hasn't even started yet. They're just throwing mines at each other. Yet, the Abh are already on the ropes. (I'm kinda hoping they lose)

I'm guessing the main attack of the triple-alliance will happen at the other system.

Why send only mines and not claim the system? The longer they wait, the grater the change for the main Abh fleet to arrive on time. Unless that's the plan. To convince Abh that this is the place the main attack will happen.

I'm also guessing that the forces attacking Abh consist mostly of Guard Ships (the ones placing the mines) and limited other kinds of ships.

Mines everywhere.
But I'm thinking they are just trying to attract all fleets on this gate so they can attack the one one that will only have one fleet.

These "mines" seem more like homing missiles on crack and steroids than actual mines, lol. Such aggressive tracking.
