[Deathstalker]

If you want to use mine sweepers and not worry about them being 'destroyed' all the time for lack of protection then just add some weapons. I'm testing a design (new AI) right now that has the Mine Sweeper secondary component as Weapon. It uses Quantum Torp, so far the design has churned out a ship loaded with mine sweeping components but has 2 torp launchers/shields/point def as well. Set for max wpns range and this ship can hold its own 1 on 1 with most others its size.

Currently experimenting with wpns on other ships (troop transporter, carrier, and boarding ship).
