Allegiance subverters may work, it could trigger a combat though. So every ship that gets subverted then has to fight the rest in the minefield (allowing them to kill the mines with point defense and projectile (?) weaponry.
Nope. All the mines go off before combat happens, so either,
A) all the ships get converted/destroyed
or
B) the mines run out, and all the ships you captured now attack the enemy ships who survived.

Remember mines don't attack like usual ships as they don't iniate combat they just go off, very unfair advantage with boarding parties. And also shields are not up during mine attacks so shield depletors are of no use.
Shield DISRUPTORS, not depleters, silly
