Bah! Covert mine laying dates back to SE III. I've done it many, many times to all sorts of enemies and rivals. It's the perfect ambush strategy. Lay mines deep inside your victim's space, then declare war. Most of the enemy fleet is trashed by the mines before it can even reach your borders and cause you trouble.

Yeah, I thought this one might be kind of obvious. Probably doesn't work too well against human opponents either because they can recognize you are acting suspiciously, but the AI never figures out what the heck you are doing.

Well AI players I have partnerships or MA with always are leaving ships parked in orbit around my planets for no apparent reason. I agree a human player would probably get suspicious unless you had a good reason for being there though.
