Here is a different question: what occurs first, sweeping or combat? If I send a bunch of suicidal sweepers through a warp point, will they sweep before they get destroyed by the guarding ships?

IF the asnwer is "yes" then by sacrificing some sweepers first I can easily sneak a cloaked task force through a mined warp point (and then it can travel undetected and pick lightly defended tragets).

If the sweepers are destroyed before they sweep then the combination of some mines plus ships is very effective at stiopping a cloaked invasion.
