Entrenchment thoughts

Varassi Mines

from Stardock Forums

I apologize for my spelling ability.

I've been playing Entrenchment for some time now and have noticed an issue with the mines that I think should be corrected.  SoaSE takes place in a 3-D world.  When the Varassi lay their mines, for the most part they only lay the mines on one layer of the 3-D environment.  this means that if a fleet jumps in to a system on the right layer they can completly bypass the varassi mine field.  I believe that something has to be done to correct this otherwise it makes the mines less effective than they should be. 

I also would like to see the scout ships, for all races, obtain a new ability.  I don't have a name for it.  What I would like to see is an auto mine sweep ability.  In other words upon activation they automaticly begin moving around a system looking for mines and disabling them.  as it is now clearing a mine filed is near impossible.  I've sent in fleets with scouts to clear mine fields and rather then taking their time to destroy a mine and then move they just  move into the field to kill the mines....obviously this results in death. 

I also believe that there are a few things that need to be corrected about the star bases.  The varassi ability to move is awesome but I fear that it makes the varassi base too powerful when compared to the other starbases.  I believe that they should all be able to move...or perhaps allow the other races to build two, maybe three starbases in a system.  other option could be to increase the range of bases etc.

Ok i've tryed a lot of thing   and i've find something.  Starbase abilities worked if you play in single  or in LAN games (mine work too)  so have fun     there some of other litle bug   but  it's playable  (and starbases are so cool).

an auto mine sweep would be good. clearing a vasari fleets droppings is only viable by a mass kamikazi charge of frigates to my knowledge.
