Easy way to increase game performance?

I did a search to try and find a recent topic i saw regarding mines but typing mines into the seach bar on the forum is not a great idea.

Anyway

 

Why does the game have to render the mines ingame - those of who you played entenchment early on (was it a beta?) will remember the TEC AI went mines nuts and having loads of mines in a game can really slow it down. Thankfully this has mostly been fixed - mostly :)

 

Have minefields as a negative effect - If you build a minefield in a system all enemy ships (different value depending on their size) take damage as long as they are within the gravity well - but you dont need to show them ingame just have it as an negative effect present in the system - mines are removed by conquering/destroying the planet .

 

This would result in a increase in the game engines performance - i think ...

Sounds like no one would build mines anymore then... Which does result in increased performance but would remove a whole valid strategy. Not a good idea.

Sorry i wasent clear - yu still build mines but its a more real minefield - say 500,000 mines inctead of 150 the whole system has a minefield that effects all ships in the gravity well
