Default Re: Question: Laying mines on top of a enemies planet

yeah but.. you can do this wholesale before combat starts. Then when your opponent starts to bring his fleets together.. boom! Pick a resupply base of his for maximum effect. I once took out half a dozen carriers this way, very sweet.

The other trick is to mine the best planets before they are ever colonised of course; its a rare player who puts minesweepers with his colonisers.
