Default Re: In what folder

In my first game with the full, I ended up building (and deploying) almost exactly 2000 mines and most never went off... (Long game. Why? I played peacefully for the first 70-80 turns or so, so the AIs managed to build up... *strange* game, however; for instance, I don't believe any enemy ship EVER used armor -- just (normal) shields, which meant phased-polaron BCs and DNs rocked...).

And I didn't change the slider, so if the default is 100, either the mines aren't counted at all, or each *minefield* counts as 1 (which could be done, since there probably isn't partial damage, supply or movement points bookkeeping for mines IIRC).
