Just got Entrenchment and enjoying it greatly. The only trouble i have is dealing with those pesky mines. Can I get some help here? I like to play as Tec so any help from that point of view is greatly appreciated!
What's bothering you? Are you playing single player? If so, you will rarely see mines, and if you do you can just avoid them. If you are playing MP, you will still rarely see a player using mines. There are a few vasari players who will use subverters on you to shut down your fleet, then drop mines on your ships. Are you running into that problem?
I think he doesn't know how to decloak mines.
Scouts can decloak mines, which renders them vulnerable to attack. Just bring 3 or 4 scouts along and mines are no problem at all. Advent mines can be annoying since they home in on your units. Use fighters (set to hold ground) to kill them, and inch your scouts forward to carefully decloak them from outside their "aggro" range.
Also, try moving your fleet a bit outside of the gravity well you are jumping from, as that way you can't jump into a TEC proximity minefield. Not sure about the other mines though (as to where they can be placed).
Flak are the Anti-Mine machine, but you need at least 1 scout close enough to detect them in order to attack them.
