AI War:OLD Mine

Mine

Enemy ships coming too close to these invisible traps will incur heavy damage. The minefield is also damaged, and eventually destroyed, in the process. The self inflicted damage is the same as the damage dealt so the Mines can attack 16 times before being destroyed. Can be decloaked by Tachyon Beams and then destroyed by your ships the same as other cloaked units. These leave behind remains when they die so Remains Rebuilders in the system will automatically rebuild them without your intervention.

Area Mine

Enemy ships coming too close to these invisible traps will incur heavy damage. The minefield is also damaged, and eventually destroyed, in the process. The explosions from these minefields also effect other enemy ships that are close by, up to 10 ships can be hit by an explosion. These are obviously useful for taking out groups of ships, but they are also useful for hitting ships that have Mine Avoidance -- those ships can still get caught in the blasts of area minefields that are triggered by another ship. Note however that ships with AOE Immune trait are still immune to the explosion. These leave behind remains when they die so Remains Rebuilders in the system will automatically rebuild them without your intervention.

EMP Mine

Enemy ships coming too close to these invisible traps will incur heavy damage. The minefield is also damaged, and eventually destroyed, in the process. If the ship triggering the minefield survives, it will also be paralyzed for 10 seconds. The burst of paralysis (but not the damage) also effects all other ships that are close by. These are particularly useful for stalling out large incoming vessels that don't have mine avoidance. These leave behind remains when they die so Remains Rebuilders in the system will automatically rebuild them without your intervention

How to counter when in the AI fleet

Making sure your fleet has tachyon coverage is the best way to counter these. A Scout Starship or a Tachyon Drone are always available to you.
If you are not able to conquer the system right away, to prevent the AI from rebuilding the Mines, a Cleanup Drone will remove the Mine Remains in short order so they will not be rebuilt.
