Re: How do mines work
That's right, shields do you no good when it comes to mines or storms.

Since the max number of mines in a sector is 100, if your ship/fleet can sweep 100 mines, it is immune to mines.

As you might know, the 100 mines per sector limit is first and foremost a close approximation. I've been able to make minefields of larger size on hotseat (and run into larger minefields in PBW games). The key is to launch 99 mines. Then any ship/planet can still launch their mines in that sector... if that ship can launch 20 mines for example, you will create a minefield of 119 mines. After this point you will be unable to increase the number. Some may consider this cheating, but I'm okay with my enemies doing it to me, I just take extra procautions.
The other way is to mod the game and reset the mine limit, but this of course applies to all players.
