SEV discussion: Mines

Even better, have the minesweepers do actual damage to the mines. Then, you can add armor (or even maneuvering thrusters if you want to make it abstract) to the mines to get better protection against sweeping at the expensive of payload. A good alternative to spamming the fields with small mines with only a single warhead, if you ask me. Also, it does not increase the micromanagement very much at all, as the only change in practice would be in how you design your mines in the first place.
