//The only times I had trouble with mine drops was when the Helm Officer forgot to call it, which only happens every once in a while, and I’ve spent almost all of my shifts as the Weapons Officer. Usually, there is no chatter during a mine run, since everyone knows better, so that’s not a problem. As for the reaction time, when the Helm starts flying towards the enemy fleet, my finger is hovering over the drop button, ready to press it on a moment’s notice. But you’re free to discuss the Echo manuveur with your CO.
