Default Re: Cloaked ships can get by mines?

I have had enemy ships floating around my space for many turns before they decide to attack.

Once I discovered cloaked ships attacking past my defense fleets, I tossed 500 mines on each wormhole into my two starsystems. Many turns passed, with cloaked ships regularily blowing up in my minefield. Half a year later, they attacked with a cloaked force.

Cloaked ship will definetly get blown up in minefields. Minefields are the best defence against stealth and the fact you can't sweep while cloaked means the enemy will at the least get to see your sweepers. (And then initiate combat)

An interesting note is that Explosive Warheads 1 cannot destroy scattering armour, so a ship with a piece will clean a minefields (of warheads 1).


I don't know what happened in Dracus's game but it ain't right.
