I've noticed in every single player game Ive played in entrenchment, by midgame the AI fleets are comprised of at least 50% scout ships.

I was playing a game as vasari the other day and I noticed some of my mines were randomly detonating themselves. There were no enemies present, and it seemed to be happening in the order I had placed them. By the time I noticed it happening, the first planets I had mined up were completely empty of mines despite there being no enemy invasions for quite some time.

Alot of this is aesthetic type stuff. TEC- The glowing effects at the top of the TEC starbase keep appearing on the sides of the starbase. The icon for Civilian and Warfare research seem to be mixed up Because the vo
Good story. One thing that kind of bothered me - and its kinda nitpicky but whatev - you keep referring to Dunov battlecruisers as being very missile laden. Yes they do have missiles, but isn't the Marza TEC's missile based capital ship?
