SOASE 7DS – how to clear mines

sins-of-a-solar-empire

Sort of a throwback here, but I was playing a few rounds of 7 Deadly Sins (still great) and as usual, the AI was throwing up piles of mines, taking over all of the tactical slots with 30 useless mines.

To clear them, I have to physically steer a heavy ship around and carefully blow them up. Is there an automated, easier way to do this? I was looking at the scout ships but I couldn't find much in the way of mine-clearing. Any tips?

Mines are a new defensive technology added in Entrenchment. The best way and pretty much the only way to get rid of mines is with a Scout Frigate. As long as a scout frigate is near a mine it will allow other ships to target and destroy them.

There are a multitude of different mines in which all of them can be found here.

As long as your scout ship is in range of the mines other ships can blow them up.
