Default Re: Question, Armor and mines

Well Sachmo, that is what it's supposed to do, but my point is that once you reach the tech that enables you to easily sweep 100 mines it no longer does that any more. Mines then become totally irrelevant, execept to catch an oppponent totally by suprise in a place he is moving ships without sweepers. Your attack fleet can roll through minefield after minefield and ignore them as if they weren't even there. At that point, they might as well not be.

If mines always did some damage, though a much smaller amount, eventually you would reach the point where your fleet was degraded to the point where continuing would be unsafe. You would have to stop and repair your armor, or build more "sweepers" to replace the ones that were destroyed.
