Re: Mines, Treaties, and Cluster Bombs
The problem IMO with the AI launching sats and mines from all colonies is the maximum number of units in space. The AI may very well reach this limit and then be unable to launch any units just in places where it would be needed most. Of course 2 or 3 systems away from the enemy defensive units around colonies make sense, but 10 systems away on the other side of the map is not effective. You still can have some weapon platforms as defense against some ships that may be translocated by a random event. Stealth ship however should never be able to get to your core systems: that is the job for minefields on warp points to prevent.
