Default Re: Tale of A Ship Idea That Failed

The whole issue, if cloaked ships should be able to sweep mines, is a question of balance. In SE III where you couldn't detect cloaked ships at all (you just could prevent them entering a sector cloaked) cloaked minesweeper made mines practically obsolete. In SE IV cloaking is very weak and can be defeated easily by system wide acting scanners. So I think it would not be unbalanced, if you allow cloaked ships to sweep mines.
