Mine Sweeping Bug???

As I said - I'm learning by trail and error

The next time all fleets will have the same max speed, or I'll make a huge one, not splitting the ships into several fleets. Will have some impact on the formation...

Its good to see these issues are being worked out

Any suggested changes or improvement to the aspects of mines would be good perhaps dummy mines (ones that cant move) and perhaps ones with limited engines that can move but require resupplying to keep them in that state - (could revert to inert dummy mines if run out of supplies)

Just some ideas for SEIV improvements - would like to see new game features added with each new patch though.

Even worse than I thought. So it doesn't make any sense at all, a totally useless feature, correct?

Even if what you are saying is true, which at this point I doubt, it is still a useful feature if you want to gather several fleets or unfleeted ships at the same location...

There are a few weaknesses in the fleet aspect of the game. Hoping the MM fixes it up for v 1.85

It's probably like this:

Using shift+click for multiple fleets to a single destination works for combat because it is conducted at the end of each day and all of the group is present.

Aside from that, each fleet (or ship) of a shift+click group moves one at a time (even if they have the same speed etc) so they encounter "real time" events like mines at different times.

Oops. Double post!
