Ah! Thanks! I had this sort of thing happen just yesterday, actually. I sent a ship in to suppress the defenses and blockade an important mining planet until the troop transport could get there. There were mines stored on the planet and I didn't get a chance to clear them out in the tactical combat.
Speaking of which, doesn't the history file say mines aren't supposed to appear in tactical combat anymore? I saw them in that same post-patch game I just finished.
