Default Re: Defending Planets

Yes, there's a bug, in my opinion. I shouldn't say it, but since it's unfair for some people to know and others not, I'll share it here.

On your homeworld build 99 mines and launch them. Then build as many mines as will fit into your cargo. Here's the key - DO NOT LAUNCH THEM UNTIL YOUR CARGO IS FULL!

So lets say you have 99 mines above your planet and your cargo is holding 70 mines. Now launch your mines.

The game makes a check FIRST (there's the bug) to make sure there aren't 100 mines, which there isn't, there's 99, so it launches all that are in your cargo. Now you have 169 mines above your planet.

You can do it on any planet, but your homeworld has the cargo space to put a hell of a lot into space.
