newbie question on mines & space empires V

[Cheeze]

Satellites are often a great way to stop attacking fleets that cannot be slowed by mines, especially if the satellites can stop even one ship in the fleet, and engine destroying weapons are great for this.

One weakness in satellites (and weapon platforms) using Ionic Dispersers (engine destroyers) is that they will not stop shooting at one ship, even after its engines are gone. I believe that the game keep shooting at one ship until its total damage is reached, and then a special weapon like an Ionic Disperser will then pick a new target. Shield Depleters face a similar problem. Just keep that in mind when loading up a warp point with satellite defenders.

You might be able to get around this by trying to manage the order in which your satellites are launched, but I'm not certain if this is true.

OK interesting Q then...if fleet continues on after sweeping a minefield sector...& enters the next sector & there's 100 mines there also..does it sweep again in the same game turn?....or will those 100 mines now affect the fleet since it sweepers just swept 100 mines Last sector?

Ships can sweep as many sectors as they can move into in a turn. The sweepers are limited by mines per sector, not mines per turn.
