Fighters vs Mines

[Zarix]

Fighters are useless against mines but drones destroy at least one mine per drone.

Why not just build 3 Minesweepers with the Medium Transport hull and 15 level 3 Minesweeper componets each?
If you get to level 4 in mines you only need 2 of these ships....
Mines are so easy to deal with that I've been thinking about changing the setting.txt to allow up to 1000 mines per sector instead of the 100 per default.....

Unfortunately minesweepers have no cargo capacity so using a medium transport severly limits the number of sweepers it can carry. Better to use a large capital ship hull.
