I am playing a level. One gravity well is an obstacle. Sent in my fleet of 16 cap ships and 50 fighter carriers (100 fighters) the enemy had a fleet of about 6 cap ships, and ten or so cruisers.

He also had a mine field.

I can't add screen shots but have some beautiful ones of an invisible fight. Ther is sooooo many mines that I can't actually see ships. or fighters, or scouts. the game is hiding them and not bothering to display them because I presume the maximum number of items are on screen and then some. It is not that you can' see them behind the mines, as they are also invisible and are not being displayed to the screen.

The number of mines is in stacks of ten and at 1920 x 1200 the list of mines goes from top to off the screen at the bottom when looked at in the side panel. So as a result the game slowed right down, but more importantly I was unable to target mines or scout them. I couldn't see my scouts to find the mines. (luckily the ships could)

In the end I spent 1 hour and 45 minutes and lost 45 scouts to clear the mine field. With invisible fighters. Eventually things began to reappear as mines were taken out, then I could actually get the planet.

The enemy had 6 mine launchers that I could determine, but something has to be done to help remove them or give them a life span. Or perhaps limit the nu,mber of mines in a map. I couldn't go round and I couldn't ignore this planet so my afternoon was gone on one planet.

I know it's been said before but I wish I could display the screen shots, it is random lasers appearing in the middle as invisble cruisers fire at invisible cruisers.
