Default Re: Improving Mine tech concept

In Adamant its not exactly easy to amass enough minesweepers to deal with really large fields. Even at a fairly high tech level your minesweeper ships can only sweep about 6-8 mines per ship. With a 100 mine maximum that's about fifteen minesweepers, a small fleet in and of its self. That can be a significant investment even for a large empire.
