AI Minesweeping

[KiloOhm]

Hey, I was getting whumped by the Serengeti empire over the Last few nights and was pushed back to my Last homeworld (started with 3 :-( ). Well, they were encroaching on my territory so I used a couple of cheese tactics. I first build up some "Queen Ants", which is a small fighter with max engines and a missle rack. I've noticed that missle racks are a severely overpowered weapon. They made quick work of the frigates im my system.

Then I proceeded to build a bunch of mines an put them around my home planet, along with at the warp points. The AI ran a couple of ships into the minefield before he actually SWEPT mines out of the warp point. I got the message "12 Mines have been swept from our minefield at 4,1". That's great! The AI seems to be reacting to minefields now!

Just though I'd share my observation with you guys.
