(best sweeper)
The best is an IS frigate with mizer and the minigun.

I also considered that design, but it lacks the fuel, needed to follow minelayers for more turns. It is also hard to use on attack, because it has low armor (only 3 minehits). I ended with the DD with crobby, 2 miniguns and a FM. I even excluded fuel tank to be cheaper. Without docks I don't recommend repeating this.

Yes, a much better allrounder ship, but for the purpose of "being there and sweep _directly_ after the minefield has been layed" you need _lots_ of them cheaply. To be honest I never played against a SD who forced me to do things like this, so what I write here is just "theory"...

But there is another problem with SD:
IMO SD has more problems with design slots than other PRTS.
Not only he need several designs for minelayers, also some more for succesful skirmishing... Also he will have a lot of old designs around - or more than other PRTs....
Maybe SD is the only PRT that can make use of the UR LRT???
It is not _that_ expensice. Also he can scrap the 2 minelayers from start on and get a nice boost in very early resources...

Ah... of topic... Cool
