No, what they do is pull them out of phase space. the problem is is that they do not do enough damage to the mines fast enough to destroy them before the scouts are destroyed. What i'm proposing is that they actually get a mine clearing ability rather than just pull the mines out of phase space for other units to destroy. The ideas I had would also coincide with the other abilities of the races.
Scouts can shoot the mines. The issue is that the range of detection was such that the scout entered detection range.
As stated, the net patch should address this
Mines are suppose to be a pain in the butt. They are not that powerful, LARGE mine fields cost a LOT of ressources, they can be easily avoided and are easy to take down with the right fleet. Anyway IC will be releasing a new patch for Entrenchment soon;
Mine detection ranges increased from 4000 to 5000 for all race's scout frigates.
Weapon ranges of scout frigates increased to match mine detection range.
Advent Homing Mines: Target acquisition range reduced from 5500 to 4500, Can no longer acquire structures and starbases as targets (though their area of effect damage will still damage them).
So I say lets wait and see how this turns out before proposing any additional changes to mines or scouts.
