Default Should large mines be counted as three mines for sweepers?

If a mine sweeper ship with five Mine Sweeper I components encounters a mine field with five small mines, it will sweep the mine field and take no damage. If it encounters a field with five large mines, what happens? Doesn't it also sweep those five mines and not take damage?

What would y'all think about asking Malfador to count a large mine as THREE mines where mine sweeper components are concerned?

In terms of realism, I would agree that it makes much more sense for all mines to be considered equal. But given the limit of 1000 units in space and the AI's tendency to build large mines, I wonder if it might not be a good idea to change how things work. Any thoughts?
