Defending Planets

[Undertakr]

You don't have huge sweeps? Don't you lose a ton of ships? I always have 5-10 mines above my planets to mess with people with no sweeps and usually quite a few mines on warp points to try to catch colony ships. I always take a dread maxed out with my highest sweepers with a fleet.

With the cargo bug, you can throw a good 160 mines above your homeworld, that can stop anything and usually even stops fleets with a lot of sweeps cuz they only plan for the 100 limit.
