[GZG] [ft]Minefields [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

1 mine per turn = 100 turns to lay a complete field.

No overlapping is to make things simple and slightly balanced; if you allow
overlapping minefields, with enough money you can make planets/bases
effectively invulnerable to attack.

Not entirely sure what the third question is; but the diffence in number of
mines attacking is again a balance issue. There is a large damage difference
between 10 beam mines and 10 salvo missile mines. Mines attack whenever you
pass within 6 MU of the marker (similar to the various FT terrains such as
dust cloud and asteroids).
