No im talking about the following i have mentioned before

Mines that when cloaked
a) cant be detected - only by advanced mine cloaking detector
b) related to above cant be detected by sweepers
c) if a enemy ship passes through the sector they dont active
d) they when cloaked arent active so to speak
e) only when deactivation do they opearte like normal mines

What i am trying to say is if you are being attacked and driven out of a system - you could leave a few of these claoked or stealthed mines and say 10 turns down the track once the enemy has the system and is moving ships thorugh to the next attack you deactive the cloaking - they operate like normal mines and the next ship to come along gets zapped.

I hope that sounds right ? if cloaked they dont do anything but cant be detected, once decloaked they are like normal mines and need to be swept as such or the ships run into them. Could be used on sabotague missions ie fly into a system leave a cloaked minefield and fly out leave it 10 turns wait for fun to come along decloak and hope they dont get sweap but take out some ships.
