Default Re: Minesweeper Question

A large mine can have 4 big explosives on it. 1200 shield skipping damage with 100% chance of hitting if not swept. That is pretty hurting no matter what. They are even likely to be cheaper than fancy engine damagers whose damage could be fixed that turn by repair ships in a fleet.

Yes, It was a BB I meant with 20 sweepers, not a BC. Good catch Alneyan. Max it could go would be 17 unmodded, though I have never had one go that fast. If 100 mines were in each hex, 1700 mines could be swept in one turn. But I expect 105 mines in one hex would be it's downfall if there were two players teaming against it.
