I just got my copy of SE4 Gold in the mail and been enjoying it greatly. I do have questions about how mines work that I can't find answers to in the game or the manual.
1) Do mines have a percentage chance to hit a ship moving through a mined area or is it an automatic hit?
2) Do they attack allied ships also or only unallied ships?
3) What do you consider the most effective strategy for defending a warp point? In the demo I used combination of CSM satellites on the approach side of the warp point and DUC satellites on the exit side. Is it more effective to use mines in conjunction with this strategy or instead of it? What about stations when I get mobile shipyards?
I'm having so much fun playing this game.
