It must be checking the count before it deploys sats or mines instead of during It does the same thing with sats.

Personally, that fix would be quite low on MY priority....unless of course PBEM's (and such) abuse happens. I know I have a sat layer that says (in the spec's) it will launch 60 per turn and I have put 105 on Warp Points routinely (15 at a time in Repeat mode 'till full). If someone built a baseship loaded with Sat or mine layers, could they potentially lay say 250 or so mines??

You quoted a 32 mine max - was that a limit of your ship / tech config or a game limit??
