Bug: I hit mines at an alarming frequency. Way, way too frequently. Particularly thin lizzy's mines. Someone post the code, I don't trust the random event generator. I know I have this stupid little cloud with lightning bolts over my head all the time, but still.

In some cases you will also sweep even if you aren't displayed as being in the web field.

The decay graphic as shown will be correct, the next turn the field will appear to have shrunk more than the decay showed but you will still sweep. In a few cases you will not.

i ain't complaining about clouds, dm - i have the crystals on my side in that game.

and you are actually right figak, i checked it. there was a little difference (like 0,5ly or so) also earlier, but in the last two turns the others either were extremely unlucky or it has become more. or our minefields have become bigger. :)
