I wonder if newly constructed ships will hit mines above the planet where it was just constructed?
Nope. A ship has to move into the sector to trigger the mines. A newly constructed ship will sit there quite happily, until it leaves that sector and tries to come back. It's been reported that fighters don't trigger mines, either, but I don't recall if that's been verified.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
