"I would suggest minamizing the ability to produce, say, 7 satellites on your home planet to 2 a turn and 1 each turn on underdeveloped worlds."

Can't do that. The only way to restrict production is to increase the cost. BUT make it so space yard I can produce 1 mine means III will produce more than 1; making it so III produces one mine will make I produce LESS than one mine.

The problem the AI has with mines is twofold- it doesn't avoid them until they are swept, and it doesn't group it's sweepers.. it sends them one by one. Boom.

As for the missile+meson combo, any AI that uses Meson BLasters, PPBs, or anything else that can fire on sats will shread that.
