SS is a good anti-SD race. 98% cloaked sweepers can infiltrate a set of minefields at a +1 warp and sweep entire lanes before the SD knows it's about to be attacked.

PP is another good anti-SD race. Packets and minefields ignore each other.

Beyond that you have to have scanning capability almost as if the SD was SS, because you absolutely have to catch cloaked minelayers before they start interdicting the movement of your freighters and missile boats. IT are good at defense against SD for this reason, they really don't care about cloaked minelayer infiltration and can concentrate on attacking the SD.

I love playing SD. SS is the race that has given me the hardest time as an SD. Kept me detonating a large number of fields at all times to keep out sweepers. This seriously upped my micro-management. The fields had to be replenished more often and freighter movement had to be much more closely monitored. Also, allies had to be very closely monitored as they tended to blunder in detonating minefields and then be pissed off at me. Shocked
