AI FAQ?

I've modified the game settings to allow up to 2000 mines in a sector (yes an insane amount). I picked this amount because I'm wanting players to not know just how many mines they can face. With the default setting of 100, you just need two level 5 Battlecruisers made into minesweepers and you're good to go.

Anyway, the AIs are still only placing 100 mines in a sector.

That's odd. I see minefields > 100 regularly with the Devnull Mod Gold AI, where the limit is 500.

I suggest doublechecking that you edited the correct value, and start a new game. Perhaps the mine limit is only read at game setup.
