Default huh!?

in a game I carefully set up an assult on an enemy plannet. I attacked it with three fleets all with the same movement from the same sector.

but

I lost 10 ships to mines - even though I had enough sweepers in one of the fleets. what happend here???

in the combat log the ships started practicaly on top of the plannet (3 sectors away from the nearest plannet there were 4 plannets alltogether)
why did they do that?

Fleets move individually.

so how do I launch an attack using more than one fleet and ensure that the fleet with the sweepers gets there first?
or cant I...

... Or make sure all fleets have sufficient sweepers. That's what I do, painful as it is.

Difficult, but very practical!
