Ok. I'm going to experiment with putting the attack and capture fleets together instead of separate. I also have a third, mine sweeping, fleet. If I throw that one in with the other two will mine sweeping take place before any possible damage from mines, or is it a bad idea to combine my sweepers with my offensive ships?
No, it's generally good to keep minesweepers in the same fleet as the ships they are supposed to protect (unless you might not have enough minesweepers to sweep all the mines). Especially if they are dedicated minesweepers who can't defend themselves very well.

A single fleet of minesweepers combines its sweeping ability before taking any hits. So it's good to concentrate minesweeping ability in fleets up to the mine limit per sector (100 in stock).
