More attempt at experimentation. I tried to get the sweep button to do something. I could not get it to sweep mines no matter if they were allied mines, enemy mines, neutral mines, no mines or my own mines. It didn't matter if I tried to sweep the sector I was in or another sector. I must be doing something wrong.

Thinking that my empire had to know the mines existed I ran a ship into an enemy field and got it blown up. Then I tried to sweep it but nothing happened.

Has anyone used the sweep button? If so how and why?
