Default Re: what the...finally a question about SE4 !

"1. Are drones hit by mines ?"

Yes. This is controllable in Settings.txt, so it can be disabled to allow them to pass.

"2. Are fighters hit by mines ?"

Yes. This is controllable in Settings.txt, so it can be disabled to allow them to pass.

"3. How do you defeat mines without minesweepers"

Flood the sector with cheap ships/drones/etc. Each will set off a mine. Alternatively, fill the ship/drone with armor, so that each one can absorb several mines.

"4. How to attack a planet that is protected by mines with drones ?!?"

See #3. Or, send in over 100 drones, so that some will survive. Certainly not feasible to attack more than one planet this way, but then, drones are not all that useful in the end anyways (unless you have a very long time of peaceful buildup in which to build lots of them).
