Z-Axis exploits in general need to be closed up.  Mines are another clear example of something rendered useless by using the Z-Axis.  Don't give me the excuse that you can lay them in 3D, because then your minefields are so sparse that the enemy can walk through them in 2D and take minimal damage.

The Z axis is a part of the game isn't it?

So riddled that it doesn't even work for me

Basically the community is divided along three lines.  One third don't even give it a second thought, one third regard it as cheating, and one third regard it as an underused part of the game.  The exploits, particularly starbase blind spots and minefield bypass, are enough to put me in the "it's cheating" category.  Aside from the exploits, there are actually very few reasons you'd ever need to use the Z-Axis, and most are to avoid pathing issues.

I did same to lums

I played with u and u keep expliting bugged lums every time i insert u an SB (without Z axis)

And for the record, its not my smurf, but i already like him.

Considering Z axis exploit  is used by only few people and lums exploit by hundrets, lum r much more important exploit to adress.
