I can't think of a more efficient way of implementing the current behavior: indeed, to use your analogy from earlier this would seem like trying to determine the result of a number of coin flips without actually flipping any.

I'm not sure I agree with you about which behavior would be preferable. Indeed, this could put other races on more even footing, since the advantage of speed trap mines is lessened. I also feel that a minefield should be able to provide some sort of guarantee; with the current situation even a fleet traveling 100ly at warp 10 will make it 1 time in 6 Shocked !

At any rate, at this point, and given that it seems that confusion regarding this could be common for new players (like me Wink I think a list of help file errors would be a useful addition to the "Stars - Must Know" section. It would certainly be a surprise to a new player who thought that an attacking fleet would take at least two years to slog through a minefield, to see it make it one and catch him with his defenses down Twisted Evil !
