I also seperated mine, mine detector, and mine sweeping techs so you can research independantly, except mines level 1 is a requirement for mine detector and mine sweeping techs.[/QB]

Just checked out your mod. What's up with you mine detectors having Quantum Reactor ability?? |

The Quantum Reactor has been removed from my mod as I don't see unlimited supplies as "realistic", so I used the ability to tag the mine detectors so the AI could place them on their ships.

Yeah, I just found that out in testing. I will give it some other ability, not sure what yet.

Re: Mine balance suggestion
Try something from a facility or star; those tend not to work. Put the quantum reactor AI reference on a base component or something, since those get infinite supplies anyway.

Re: Mine balance suggestion
Mines are blanced at this point. the max you will ever face is 1000 or so. ( I mean 1000) But you can build ships that will counteract that. The glitch that lets put more than 100 mines in space is good. It keeps you guessing. so the patch to elimanate that glitch is a disappointment to me. Too many details in a game can bog it down.

It IS a bug though, and needs fixing. More to the point, there's a line in settings.txt that enables you to raise the max mines per sector limit.
