vannila game, I had 3 ships in a fleet, 2 ships had 10 sweeper Vs on them each - so the fleat was cappaabel of sweeping exacialy 100 mines.
I have only 1 empire I am at war with, all the others are TA and above, and the fleat got damaged by mines?

I think the correct expression is: "D'oh!".

Y'know who else hated mines?

OOOOOoooooooops!
