URGENT: Will mines explode if friendly ships move

Non-agression treaty and higher ones allow allied ships to travel through minefields. War "treaty", None "treaty" and Non-intercourse don't allow it.

Oh, one Last question: Do minelayers have to decloak in order to lay mines ? If so, can i manually order them to:

1. uncloak
2. laymines
3. cloak

within 1 turn, so the enemy wont notice them except he does the turn movement replay thingy ?

5.9.1. You can launch/recover fighters/mines(not recover)/satellites, transfer cargo (or population), resource mine while cloaked. (from FAQ)

However, cloak order in simultaneous is instant, so I think it's impossible to do sequence "decloak-lay mines-cloak again". Let alone it's not nessesary.

Just do not forget that mineSWEEPERs need to decloak. Best is not to equip them with cloaking armor - learned that the hard way...

I guess i wont be the one who will have to sweep mines that have been cloaked deployed at hostile worlds

lets hope that silly decloak to remove mines is an option next game...
