Depends on situation, nice to be unpredictable. An opponent doesn't know what you really have so you may trigger him spending on things he doesn't need.


Oh? How does minefield in opponent backyard make me more unpredictable?

OK, when i play SS i have rogue everywhere and often it has 2 or so std layers on board. It is quite wise of opponent to spend on finding out what there is and catching it out if i reveal its location with minefield or even sweeping. At warp 5-6 i wont get very far.

Now if i have true stealth fleet with mission undergoing about what the opponent does not know then is it better to show minefields and sweep before or after it is too late to dispatch or ambush its first pillage? Rolling Eyes

Making noise is making noise and if there is no real reason of making noise then its just uselessly drawing attention to the weak but quite expensive noisemakers.
