Actually, I think you are a little off with this statement-
The way the game engine works, an empire's mines are swept one at a time, soo 100 minesweeping capability is applied each time. Therefore, a player is protected against needing to sweep more that 100 at a point no matter how many empires lay mines there.
I do remember asking this specifically a while back. And in all my games, I've seen it work this way, IIRC. |

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread
I can say from experience that if there are more than 100 enemy mines in a sector from 2 or more enemy empires, having 100 minsweepers will sweep the first 100 and your ship(s) WILL be damaged by the remainder. I have seen this on more than one occasion. Of course, if your fleet can sweep more than the number of mines in the sector, they will all be swept, obviously.

Gotta back Slick up on this one. In the Challenge Match, I've run into more than 100 mines in a sector twice now and taken a lot of damage from the ones above 100 that were left.

If you want to discuss the mines further, please take it to a different thread.

Why ? They address a VERY important point which was actually introduced by you as a "gamey" or "exploits" tactic.

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread
No Oleg. This thread is not for discussions of what is gamey or what is not gamey. It is for compiling a list of what MIGHT BE considered gamey by some people. If you want to talk about what is gamey or not in your opinion, do it elsewhere.
