I want to be clear on this item since their is some discussion in this thread and some confusion.

The mine damage dodge:

Quote:

mine damage dodge (): You put together a fleet with different designs in a way that some mine damage can't be allocated by Stars but is dodged.
Eaxample: 1 scout design (20 armor, no shield) plus 4 destroyers (the destroyer ship slot is below chaff design slot).
Result: Mine damage of 500 points gets distributed in a way that Stars puts 4/5 of the damage onto the first design slot. Thus 400 damage goes to the scout design (which can suck up only 20 damage and 380 damage are lost/dodged)

Is allowed in this game. I realize there is a bit of discussion on the forums on whether this should be allowed in games or not. But really for each game it is up to the creator of the game to allow or prohibit this. In this game it is allowed. I don't think it changes the game too much and I don't want to have to police it. Others feel differently I am sure. But it is ok to allow this in a game as long as the rules clearly state it, which hopefully I have done so now.
