Fun with mines!

Say... ever tried launching mines in a system with random movement???

Talk about realistic minefields!

Yes, I have. Unfortunately, everything in a sector seems to be randomly moved together.

Hmm, and do the sector contents sometimes move together, so that as time goes one, things tend to accumulate into fewer and fewer sectors, assuming no new sectors have stuff added to them?

P.S. Ooo, I wonder if this is a way to get more than the mine limit in one sector... hmmm...

Possibly. I just remember that I had 3 colony ships get trapped in an Organic Infestation system in a Proportions game (ran out of supplies at the same time in the same sector) and they were never separated.

Too bad they would just be randomly moving about a system.

there's a game going where all combat occurs in a system with random movement. apparently, everything is teleported to the destination secter.

Sure, but you could put an annoying ship named "Neener Neener" (or something less obvious) there, or run to the mine sector with ships in other locations, hoping to lead pursuers there.
