Diffusion mines

[Ed Kolis]

What if you set random movement of one to EVERY system? OK, that would get annoying trying to get your ships to supply depots, etc. since there's no "hold position" order (unless "sentry" will do that) - but then all mines and satellites in the system would automatically "diffuse" throughout the system... of course bases would too... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Now if you could just assign random movement say every 5 turns or something... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Random movement will not cause diffusion. Over time every object in the system will be pulled to the same sector, which will then roam around the map.

Actually ramdom movement tends to group things creating for example random-moving minefields with more mines than the legal limit.
