Well I am playing only against the AI (Max difficulty and bonus), but they do leave nasty mines around. I have specialty ships that carry the various system scanners a repair bay, 2 Point Defense weapons and mine sweeps. I always have at least one and normally two of these along with my larger fleets. I have stared using a command ship that caries scanners PD's sweeps and the computer that lets all ships fight at the level of the highest ship in the fleet. Am I have some ships with experience level Legendary.
