IMX, your shields are at full strength for each mine hit. I *believe* you also get all your OA regenerated (haven't been organic in awhile). But it is certainly true that any extra damage (damage from a single mine that does not kill a component) is lost between mine hits.

So, if you had 155 shields and a single piece of stealth armor (150 damage resistance), you can get hit by unlimited 300 damage mines (only 145 gets through, which can't kill your armor).

On the plus side, Crystalline Armor gives you no special protection against mines. Since its ability only effects the second and subsequent hits in combat, it acts as just plain 150 damage resistant armor against mines.
