I have been searching and can't find an answer to these...

I have been searching and can't find an answer to these questions:

Are Horwasps powered ships or pods effected by normal minefields?

Can they hit mines and if they do, are they slowed as normal ships?

It is well hidden information:
"4) All ballistic pods (including Accellerators and Sentries) have a 25ly scan range or a 50ly scan range if they have weapons. All ballistic pods are immune to minefields."
From: https://mobile.planets.nu/#/post/horwasp-alpha-2-release

All powered horwasp starships are vulnerable to minefields.

Wasp only worry about mines (including web) if we are using ships (broods/jackers/soldiers).

@Tom_Graves: I didn't like them at first. In fact, I hated playing them the first time I tried.

But the more I played them, the more I came to love 'em. They definitely take a _very_ different mindset than the Echo races, but are worth the learning curve!

Pods are also immune to web mines. Those with beams sweep them.

Playing Blitz with them is a good way to learn. After some practice there, you are better prepared for high performance during a big game. Without some practice you will not know what you are doing, and waste valuable time. :)
