The AI automatically avoids entering damaging sectors within a system. It would only run into an asteroid minefield if it was in the same sector as a warp point that it just came through.

Edit: Or at least that's how it behaved in SEIV. I still don't have SEV to check what things have changed.

And indeed, that is the problem. If there is no easy path through the system, the AI just won't make it.
Which includes not only no path, but also when the paths include moving away from the destination in order to make it without damage.

The problem is, none of us are telepathic.

and of course, you'd have to deal with pedantic idiots ilke me asking why minesweepers don't work on it and the minefield never depletes.

I guess you could handwave that away in the sector's description.

One possible answer here might be that it is a self-replicating minefield, and uses an ancient and advanced form of technology too sophisticated to be removed or disarmed by any known minesweeper technologies.

Just a thought....

I didn't want to assume anything Fyron. I have done that before and it has come back to bite me in arse. Besides, there is nothing better than to hear it directly from the person without the confusion of a middle man. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
