Minesweepers
How do minesweepers sweep mines.
Is it in order of size? That is are Mines1 swept first? Then Mines2? Then Mines3?
Or is it random?
A somewhat similiar question is "When a ship takes damage in a minefield, do mines1 'hit' first, then mine2 etc or is it totally random?"

I'm guessing but if they are consistant with other SEIV elements then:

Re: Minesweepers
From earlier Posts i've found the following. Sweepers sweep mines, not warheads (hence a headless mines still uses a sweep slot) in the order they were lain.
The warheads do damage like they say. And that damage is abosorbed by any non-sheild poitns, so armor can help a ship weather a mine field.

Re: Minesweepers
Skulky, you mean mines 'skip' shields? Or did I misunderstood?

Re: Minesweepers
Does anybody know if multiple warheads on the same mine can hit different ships?
IE: if you have one mine in a sector, with 10 modded warheads on it, and 10 ships fly in without sweepers, will one ship take all the hits, or will most of them suffer light to moderate damage?
