Re: How do mines work

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.

Jimbob, this was fixed in Version 1.78. With the latest patch a 100 mine limit is most definetly a 100 mine limit.
