After playing Entrenchment today in normal mode in a 2v2 map (3 AI and me), I found that when the computer plays as a Vasari especially, they turtle in the last planets they have control, with dozens, hundreds of mines which make my computer literally crawl through the battles in a very painful slide show motion. I have never had this problem before even with large fleet battles, my computer specs are above the recommended (i play fallout 3 in very high detail at a very smooth framerate).

Is this something they plan to fix (perhaps limit the number of mines to be able to be build) or improve the framerate when a lot of stuff is been drawn in the screen now that the mines come into play?

I really hope this is a problem with the beta release and things get better in release, otherwise, the game turns out very annoying due to this visual lagfest.
