Re: Protecting Planets
Mines do appear in tactical combat if you launch them during tactical combat or if you launch them while the enemy ships are in the same sector as yours and then enter tactical combat with the enemy ships.
note however - the entire enemy fleet will take a pounding - the first time they move just one ship to re-enforce their fleet - into the sector with your mines and ships.
I wont waste too much space puting sensors that detect cloaked ships on a ship - I usually put a single satellite in the system - with sensors to detect cloaked intruders.
This includes sending a ship with my invasion fleet that contains a supply of satellites designed to detect cloaked ships in the systems I am attacking.
Often I will also place a single cloaked satellite with sensors in an unoccupied system to keep an eye out for intruders.
