Small ships and mines

[WhiteHojo]

Can you mix 2 General Groups in 1 component? That is, can you combind an armor group w/a minesweeper group? In the component file, it shows armor to be a Gen Grp of Armor and minesweeper as Gen Grp of Unit Launch. Can you add the Minesweeper Ability tyep to the Armor as a 2nd Ability type like the Organic/emmisive/Crystal armor has 2 Ability types?

My goal is to reduce the effectiveness and thus players reliance on Mines in the early/mid game. So I had a thought, make a armor component w/minesweeping capabilities. Don't know if it would work - not sure how the minesweeper works in game terms (does it automatically sweep for mines whenever you enter a minefield or do you have to use the sweep for mines button - logically it seems it wld have to start sweeping upon entering a minefield or it wld be destroyed b/f doing any sweeping)

Just a crazy Tues morning idea (woke up at 4:30 this morning w/this on my mind - gotta stop playin the game b/f I go to bed) - any feedback wld be apreciated.
