Question time.......

[Ragnarok]

Ok, I'm currently playing a game against the AI, it's me against 3 AI, and 4 Neutral AI's. Was 4 regulars but the computer took out one of the other empires before I met them. Come to think of it I've only met one race so far, and I'm 7 years into the game. I'm at war with them as we speak. But the question... I'm trying to block them off, well it's working actually so no trying involved, but I put some mines in a system of theirs just so I could monitor their activity for awhile. But the mines don't monitor anything. I don't see nothing but what planets are in the system and my mines, when I take a ship in there all the planets in there show up as theirs. Why is this? In a previous game I had going I used this tactic and it worked fine, mines acted as scanners. Which to me makes no sense in the first place since mines don't got scanners on them. I was just wondering why it's not working in this game and it did in the other one. Yes I used to same Version in both.

But again... haha... If you don't understand my question in all my rambling there, I'll put it in simple terms... Are mines supposed to be able to see what's going on in an enemy system?

It's probably a simple answer as always. Thanks for any help though.
