I sometimes play with a classical CD in. The only "problem" is that the game will switch music tracks for some situations, so you often won't hear complete tracks.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Still puzzled.



I think there are some rare cases in which your mine sweeper can start the turn in an enemy minefield. For example, if the enemy mined the orbit of one of your planets and you build a mine sweeper at its planetary space yard.
I never saw anything like that in my games, anyway, so I can't say if it works...

Example: You attack an enemy fleet with your fleet.
One enemy ship turns out to be a minelayer, and spews mines into space as it runs away. You and the other fleet square off and fight it out.
You win, and combat ends. Now, you are in the same square as an undetonated minefield.
Using the Sweep command allows you to sweep the mines without moving one square away, then coming back to sweep the mines.

I think the "sweep mines" command was intended to be used for giving orders to a minesweeper ship (i.e., instead of giving a "move to" order, give a "sweep mines" order and select the destination sector). I've also used the sweep mines command (in previous patches) to get rid of the minefield designator in sectors where I've cleared the minefield, but still have that "M" symbol and ships continue to avoid the sector. Supposedly, MM has finally fixed that bug...
