Robots extending minefields

Hi there.
I am playing Robots in a game where I got Coalition and Rebels as
allies (I play those too), so I got a few questions:

As Robots I can lay Barbitic minefields with up to 5000 ordnance per
turn,- but is there a formula on the area that is covered?
And can I increase this area anyhow without laying another minefield
over the old one?
What do you recommend?

Also, movement for my allies through the Robotic minefields, will they
be affected in any way, or can they move as if there was nothing there?

Thanks,

Dragonheart

>is there a formula on the area that is covered?

Web field radius = Ord ^ 0.45
All other minefield radius = Ord ^ 0.4

No. Minefields cannot grow in size.


>movement for my allies through the Robotic minefields

They can sub-space travel just fine if you and they both have attack
off for each other.

They cannot HYP through your fields... they act the same as Gravs...
they affect all ships, even your own, when not cloaked.
