Tale of A Ship Idea That Failed

[Deathstalker]

Recently, during my modding for the StarWars AI (to be released in a little while, still in beta testing) I decided to change how Mine Sweepers were used. Since shields do nothing when encountering a mine field I scrapped them entirely and went full armour. Worked great until stealth/scattering armor was discovered. Now all the ships auto-cloak and head for the minefield, then go 'boom' and do not sweep. It seems cloaked ships cannot sweep mines, really quite disturbing to see a dreadnought fully loaded with armour/sweepers get blown away by a few mines.

Hopefully MM can fix this, either by allowing cloaked ships to sweep or finding some way to 'de-cloak' them b4 hitting the field. Until then it seems my 'new' minesweeper is not quite worthwile.(although the armour does soak up quite a few mines, maybe I'll just replace ALL the components with armour, that might work).
