Re: More newbie questions
 

I think the "sweep mines" command was intended to be used for giving orders to a minesweeper ship (i.e., instead of giving a "move to" order, give a "sweep mines" order and select the destination sector). I've also used the sweep mines command (in previous patches) to get rid of the minefield designator in sectors where I've cleared the minefield, but still have that "M" symbol and ships continue to avoid the sector. Supposedly, MM has finally fixed that bug...
