Mines and AI use

I may have to try that next game. I bet that would work really great early in the game!

You are indeed correct that the AI doesn't launch mines over planets. This is definitely on my wish list for SEV. All you really need is a "Percentage of mines to keep as planetary cargo" line in AI_settings.txt, and some hard codding work and this could be added relatively easily.

I agree, Cybersol, this would be a good counter measure for the AI.

You may find, 100 mines will work any time against the AI

Actualy, it has a neat impact against a Human Player as well

Rigth now, I'm playing an one on one game against the Tessellate: High Bonus, small galaxy and 3 starting planets...
Until now I was able to stop them, but from some turns ago (we're at the turn 75), even using mines over my planets I can't stop them... They took a system from me, and invaded other 2 (conquering some of my planets).
Ergo: still think that using High Bonus, try to defeat the AI in small galaxy is very challenging to me...
