If 250,000 tonne black hole was a meter away, its gravitational acceleration would be 0.017 m/s^2. A spacecraft that doesn't hit a black hole that size dead-on can blithely ignore its gravitational effects, because they're effectively negligible for even early space-age space travel. | |

If you seed a volume of space with enough black hole "mines" to be a threat to ships (i.e. a very, very large number because space is ridiculously huge), then 1) it's going to be detectable from quite a distance by the gravity and 2) the mines will start sucking each other together. | |

Even if there are possible some semi-stelth approaches, do not rely on them for strategical stuff. Placing network of detectors with sparse torpedoes inbetween is a better way. | |
| May 18, 2021 at 17:19 | comment | added | Tortliena - inactive | Regarding minefields, there are many things to take into account : comparing costs with other believable techs of this level or below, space's size and 3rd dimension battle, how space expands, salvaging mines, friendly/enemy targeting... To improve the question, how are your ships (e.g. : their size and mass, approx) and how do they move : magic gateways, fasterthanlight or under light speed travel? Acceleration speed? | |
