Whose ships? Yours, an ally's, or a possible/actual enemy's?

If you have *any* treaty with an AI player, then they will ignore your mines and satellites.

Re: Mine Bug????

I had a similar problem. built and layed over 400 mines and they didn't go off when the enemy flew thru them....
Turned out I hadn't put a warhead on them...
Check design to make sure they have warheads.

Also, good armor (like organic Lvl III) will just basically ignore mines. Check out the "whys" in at least 1 other thread (won't try to repeat 'em here) but it basically boils down to that each mine acts as 1 combat turn and if just one mine doesn't destroy the armor on the first try, all damage is ignored. Second one goes off and its ignored, etc, etc, etc...
