Yeah, I just found that out in testing. I will give it some other ability, not sure what yet.

Try something from a facility or star; those tend not to work. Put the quantum reactor AI reference on a base component or something, since those get infinite supplies anyway.

Mines are blanced at this point. the max you will ever face is 1000 or so. ( I mean 1000) But you can build ships that will counteract that. The glitch that lets put more than 100 mines in space is good. It keeps you guessing. so the patch to elimanate that glitch is a disappointment to me. Too many details in a game can bog it down.

It IS a bug though, and needs fixing. More to the point, there's a line in settings.txt that enables you to raise the max mines per sector limit.

My good people! We must not let our efforts be hampered by mere minefields! It is our prerogative to expand without bound throughout the known universe...not cower and whimper in fear of a few drifting explosives! We shall endeavour to overcome these obstacles... regardless of the loss of life and prove to our enemies that...that...

In the PBW game "Colorado Gold Rush 1"
I've encountered a minefield with 190 mines in one sector, this was totally cheating! But no one seem to care about that.
