Default How minesweeper work

Hi

Can ship with minesweeper modules to clean sector without the moving in this sector?

For example - there is the enemy mine field in the sector 4,1. Can minesweeper to destroy this mines, if the minesweeper stay in the sector 4,2?

Thanks

I THINK the only time you can sweep mines is moving INTO the sector. Staying still or moving out does no good.

You can issue them an order to sweep mines. Movement does not have to occur.

Nope, you have to be in the sector to sweep. But please note there IS a 'sweep mines' button in the command bar. You can sweep the sector you are currently in without moving out and then moving back.

But how I can be in the sector with mines in the beginning of turn? I mean if minesweeper can not to clean all enemy mines in the sector than it will be destroyed. If ship can to clean 10 mines per turn and mine field consist from 20 mines ship will sweep out ten mines and be destroyed by elevens. Or may be I do not understand something?
