Hello,

I face this problem every time playing SD and trying lay many minefields simultaneously on a small area. How to avoid merging these minefields?
Maybe somebody know a formula determinig it (when 2+ minefields are going to merge and where center of new minefield will be?) or a simple way to manage this occurance?

TIA & regards

Keep all ships at least 1 ly + the radius of the begining minefield apart. So, you have 4 mine dispenser 40's on a SD minelayer hull. That lays 160 * 2 = 320 mines per year. 320 mines in the field = 18 ly radius (square root of mines in the field = radius of field). Keeping your minelayers 19+ ly apart will give you seperate minefields. Those minefields will be centered at each ship location.

That help?
