is there a problem playing SD using 2.6J RC4 when the host is using 2.7 RC3?

I have a game where my minelayer hulls are not doubling the mines laid and my detonating minefields keep detonating forever ..?

I haven't played SD much before although having been playing Stars! for years. Is it me ...?

Not that I know of.

Just ran a very quick testbed, the starting Little Hen lays 320 mines just as it is supposed to and I can easily turn minefield detonations on and off.
The .hst file was opened with 2.7jRC3 and player file with 2.6jRC4,

 Are you measuring the minelaying rate when the minelayer hulls are moving or when they have stopped? The SD ability to lay on the move only lays half the rated capacity, so a mini mine layer hull with four Mine Dispenser 40s laying on the move lays 160 mines instead of the 320 it lays when stopped for a turn or more.

Perhaps i am misunderstanding Minefield detonations ..

You can switch them on AND off..? I thought once switched on they detonated and vanished. What actually happens ...

 When detonated, minefields loose 25% of their mines and detonate agian the next year unless you manually uncheck the detonate box.

What a pity!

I was really enjoying myself. Sitting back and watching him blow up his own ships year after year.
