Some interesting "sci-fi" theories to try and explain minefields. Rolling Eyes

I realise now that trying to explain mine sweeping from an actual physical standpoint won't work. Sad

Perhaps a discussion of the physics behind Stars minefields could be in another post.

Ok. To try and get back to the gist of what I was asking.
Teleport

Do people think that sweeping minefields by using chaff is either too easy or too cheap ?
Do you agree that mine sweeping should be more difficult than just chucking a few cheap old ships at a field.
Does this tactic reduce the effectiveness of mines far below that which was intended in the games design ?

I'd just like opinions on how much you think it affects game play and whether that is good or bad.
