Thats the first comment on the positive aspect of mines that I've ever read on these forums.

The only problem I have with mines (besides the never before minidump) is to lead your scout around a well for 20 minutes clearing mines. Their should be a slow automated way to remove them, removing them too fast would defeat their purpose.

I don't believe in a per well cap, maybe a overall cap so it would force you to only put mines in the wells you REALLY need defended not every one.

I believe in a soft cap: Make it use resources for all 3 races. :P

In really long games, however, a soft cap ends up being no cap.

Even as TEC, spamming a thousand mines wasn't all that hard.

Yeah, but that's not really an issue for MP since they'd never get that long and provided mines are less micromanagey to clear, it won't be much of an issue in SP. :)
