Could this ability also be activated by being either a zolazin or a hacker. I think that might get peoples interest.

any hacker counts toward the 3... are you asking for him to count any zolazin as well? cuz that would mean meeting the criteria for Krionite Minefield would automatically meet the criteria for this one too (since only zolazin can be sab)

Lycan,

Yes that's what I was thinking. Krionite Minefields atm aren't worth it, doing 50% dmg to one ship when 20-60 are attacking you means little. Also since I'm not sure about this, but reducing the atk of the top three might not matter either if it can be cleansed with a containment cage. You're better off saving those AP's for emergency Hull Repairs.

So at the moment looking at the intrusion ability after it already costs a GP artifact why make it even harder to get? Espcially if I'm right and it's ability can be cleansed with a containment cage. Now if the ability can't well that's another story.

i haven't even run across a base yet that's had time to buff or respond in any way while we've attacked them (even on a 15-20 minute battle)
