Small update to my Last post:

I also asked the mines question to a fellow player in my PBW game. I will paste a few lines from his email response:
> Mines can be lauched with out the help of a ship but it happenes at the end
> of the turn e.g as turn is processed
>
> In multiplayer get use to the orders screens (the eye) these screens tell
> you what you have told planets and ships to do during processing.

And here is my follow-up question:

Just one more question about the mines:
Must I use the "launch units remotely" button because the normal "launch /
recover units" button is greyed out. I can do that and say launch mines and
then click on planet (I assume if you click anywhere else it wont work cause
planets can only launch into their own orbits?). But this will not let me
control how many of the mines stored on the planet will be launched? I only
want to launch 10 or so (enough that a minesweeping destroyer level I cant
sweep em all) and keep the rest on planet so that my minelayers can pick
them up and move em around. Minelayers still cannot recover mines that are
already launched in to space, right?

Hope anyone can clarify.
