Special abilities

Squad repair - All squadrons can be ordered to return to their parent ship and undergo repairs during battle, this can even replace lost craft in the squadron and can be done regardless of how much damage and losses the squadron has taken so long as it is still intact. As an additional note, Sweepers will be restocked with it's chaff upon docking with it's parent ship. This is done immediately, and can be sent back out the following turn.

Disarm - An ability introduced with the reinforcement pack, the Sweeper can be given the order to disarm any hostile deployed mines nearby. The ability range to target mines is a little over 4000m range, and the Sweeper will fly to the target.

Missile interception - Sweepers can attempt to intercept incoming ordnance by giving orders to defend the target of incoming ordnance. Just like Raptors, this really is not recommended with Sweepers, but you can stop some of the slower munitions such as guided missiles if you're desperate.

Deploy Chaff - The Sweeper can deploy chaff which destroys hostile munitions on contact, whilst allowing your own to pass unhindered. Chaff is deployed on the Sweeper's position and will continue to be deployed in 2.5 second intervals as it moves. It has a stock of 10 chaff, and will deploy 4 per turn along it's movement path. The chaff clouds disperse over time, starting off the size of an Adamant, and becoming fleet-encompassing by the second turn of being up.
