Two Hundred Mines = Dead Fleet. How to Overcome?

[Taqwus]

Alternatives to simply using lots of sweepers, or a star destroyer...

Steal his ships using Crew Insurrection, if he's got any left nearby, and run them into the minefield.

Possibly, sweep with cheap (basically empty) fighters -- either they set off the mines (perhaps one each?... which would be quite wasteful) or they ignore them (even niftier).

Or ignore the planet military-wise, using instead facility sabotage, PPP, anarchy Groups, or condition/value-wrecking ops -- it shouldn't be too hard to drive it to Deadly conditions. And then surround it with storms or your own minefields if you're feeling evil.
