Why does it always say "someone" swept your mines when the game knows damn well who the offending party is(are).

The server code that generates the message doesn't know if you'll be able to see the fleet by the time you get the message. That will probably remain, but you should be able to click on the mine field in the message and have it jump there, making it fairly clear who was sweeping.

I would have thought this would be a client issue. The server sends information about what was swept and which fleet did it and the client would check to see if you can see that fleet. If you couldn't, then you would get the "someone" message.

That's the thing. In that case the client would have access to more data than it should (fleet numbers it might not be able to see). We can't have that. The client will only receive messages that race would know about. So they'll get the message about the minefield being swept, but it may or may not be associated with the fleet doing the sweeping. At this point, it looks like probably not.
