It just occured to me that a lot of us would be happy if the game just treated minefields the way it currently does damaging warp points. There you have a damage rating, but there is a chance of getting through the warp point undamaged.

If the game could modify this chance based on how many mies are in the field, that would be cool. Then you could try to "bull your way through" and not all your ships would be destroyed. You would get hurt, but not all or nothing like it is now. And some mines would remain, so the minefield would be more usueful, even though it was doing less damage.

That would be nearly perfect, IMHO. I also feel that mines should have various cloaks and that some sensors can see through certain mine cloaks. Also, (can't recall if someone else mention this) sweepers should do a certain kt worth of damage to a mine field instead of 1 for 1.
