Seriously though, if I set mine sweepers' supply usage to something other that 0, does it actually work? (Mines can become useless once everyone gets high level sweepers, so they could still be used to deplete fleets' supplies... imagine if minesweepers used 25 supplies per mine swept... sweeping a 100-mine field would deplete 2500 of the fleet's supplies!)

That's only a viable solution is a) it works and b) you aren't playing with the quantum reactor or solar collectors.

A great idea. If you find out let us know. I've been working on ideas to reintroduce mines as a viable defense. This may be an as yet unconsidered option.
