About placement, i think i read somewhere, that's impossible to chaffsweep mine field in plnet orbit before detonation, so if minefield is centered on planet its impossible to attack directly without receiving mine det if SD wants that. That would indicate that any endangered planet should have normal field centered on it even if rather small. Is that possible or simply too much work or too much minefields?


I just ran a test: chaff sweeping a field of which the center was in orbit of planet and which was set to detonate. I had one (unarmed) fleet enter orbit: the field was gone and the fleet that reached orbit did not got hit by a detonation.

If you do want your enemy to get caught in the detonation: set him to friend. Twisted Evil
