Ok, I've just experienced the fruitless joy of building a bunch of
minelayers over a base with oodles of ord on it only to find out the Ord is
still sitting there in the base per recent host change. This base will now
fall into the hands of mine enemy as I won't be able to lay the minefields
in time to save it. :-( Perhaps rather than rechange host another answer to
this could be to allow the minelaying ships to set commands to lay mines
even when they don't have the Ord in storage. Currently ships minefield
command screens are useless when the Ord isn't onboard. If I were able to
set my ships to lay fields as well as beam up the ord the same turn this
would solve this problem.
