Re: Mine balance suggestion
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.

I disagree with calling that cheating. I consider it a rule. The current rule is that if you have less than 100 mines you can initiate a launch. |

Re: Mine balance suggestion
Since it's fixed in the next patch, MM must consider it a bug. That's good enough for me...

Re: Mine balance suggestion
I think the 100 limit is not very realistic... 20000 units max... If I want them in one spot and all mines... that is my empires wishes... My empire spend all those resources doing that... so it is ok...
Just plain silly...limiting the mines to 100...
To BC's with mine sweepers cleans that up... Not very realistic... so mines become useless in a game.... which is just silly....
Yea I am tired today... Paged Last night ... so not much sleep
