Minefields

[Baron Grazic]

Another Mine question, Is there a limit to the amount of mines allowed in 1 sector?
I ask because my fleet could sweep 110 mines, but I got damaged heading thru the warp point anyway. se5a?

In stock the limit is 100 per hex.

I just wanted to check, but with Minesweepers do you have to actively use them? Like give them a sweep order to do so?

If that's the case then how would the opponent ever get by mines if you always put them on the far side of wormholes.

Never got an answer.

Mine fields are evil. Avoid them. Be wary of any empire that deploys them while holding a peace treaty with you! You might just wake up one day with your homeworld surrounded by mines and your former ally demanding your unconditional surrender. Followed soon afterward by your death, and public display of your severed head on a pole outside of your former palace.

A minesweeping ship will automatically sweep mines when it enters a sector. You don't have to give it an order to sweep mines.

You just run them into the minefield and they sweep automatically..
