i have a saved game where opponent (a.i.), cant remember but either vassari, or advent, build some many mines in a gravity well(1000+) if i can see the well(i.e. a scout goes there) all my ships within a few jumps disapear. my computor meets the req.settings. IMO mines have too be limited. there is now why even $10,000 computors are going to be able too handle 1000 mines in several wells plus the hundreds of ships you have to build if you want to want to win. let me know how too submit a saved game if any dev wants a look.
