Default Re: Sweeping Mines

Anybody test what happens with multiple sweepers? If you have, say, 4 sweepers with 5 Sweeper V's (so each can handle 25 mines), and you move 'em into a 125-mine fleet, will you lose sweeper (First one sweeps 25, still 100 left, so some go boom. Second sweeps 25, still some left, etc.), or will they all sweep, and *then* remaining mines detonate on remaining ships (including accompanying non-sweepers)?

FWIW, early on, a ship with good Organic Armor makes an insanely good minesweeper, since the armor will regenerate between mine detonations.
