Mines & treties.... A few questions

it still has hostile ID. i doubt mines are just as primitive unmovable objects as today's mines are. besides, even today not all are. a ship has other readings that heat from engines, you know.

Like Taera said. Also tried it again with mobile ships. Same result.

I noticed something else in this case. I captured a minesweeper. I figured there were mines in the sector so I used to minesweep button. Went a sector away and came back. Then it swept mines, and only the minesweeper took damage.

AFAICT, the sweep mines button doesn't work if the ship doesn't move.

you still can sweep without moving, but it should trigger the whole minefield. supposedly works only when you have one ship at the sector (or all are minesweepers), and it might actually be a new bug we all have never thought about (read the 100+ ways to tell your addicted to se?)
