Just a note, all Klingon ships carry minesweeper elements. Are you suggesting though that the AI waits until it has a certain number of Minesweeper ships though before it will tackle a known minefield?

Yep, I saw the ships designes with minesweepers, but also with cloak devices, then:

1) Are you sure that the AI decloak the ATTACK ships, before go through a minefield? (I know that the AI does it with the MINESWEEPERS SHIPS, and doubt that would be smart enough to do it with ATTACK ships). But I can see another problem: if the attack ships find a minefield not reported yet, the minesweepers will be useless because can't sweep mines while are cloaked.

2) Into the settings.txt, the Klingons have:

Ships don't move through minefields := True

It mean that these large fleets with ATTACK ships with minesweepers DEVICES, never will try to go through a warp point if know that at the other side does exist mines... They will wait until a MINESWEEPER SHIP could clean the minefield before go there.

Some modders, have changed this settings to "False".
To my taste, I like this setting in "True", because if not, the AI like to send fleets to commit suicide, sending ships without minesweepers DEVICES or lack of it...
But if you put it "True", then, the MINESWEEPERS SHIPS are a MUST BE.
