Or, if you get really crazy with the mine-per-sector limit (i.e. 1000 mines per sector), 40 LC's with sweepers... I think THAT would be prohibitive, even for some of the more experienced players. Granted, you could start using larger ship hulls, but it still requires a lot of sweepers (200 sweeper V components, to be precise); that's a lot of dedicated mine sweeper ships.
