If some one has a bunch of sweepers next to a field you want to protect, just sending in one sweeper-killer will not work. You have to at least send in enough to kill them all if they happen to split. Unfortunatly whenever I try that, Stars! thinks I want to send them all chasing after the main fleet...

Pretty well what happenned to me. I sent 7 fleets after a single fleet that split 7 ways. Most of his fleets didn't get chased and would have been destroyed if they were chased. Combine that with one of his fleets going after my weak colony that had poorly defended transports the turn before and we have a grey area, especially if battleships do similar later.

His 'minesweepers' are a counter design to mine so he wins if he hits my small colonies with them and I leave stuff there (and don't defend with battleships or missile ships). So they can actually do damage to a small colony if poorly defended and on the border we both have lots of those. A little better defended doesn't do much good against our battleships that are facing off.
