[Barnacle Bill]

I saw pretty weird behavior with mines myself. I'm not remembering the exact numbers but it went something like this.... I built a mine laying ship with something like 12 mine laying components and a bunch of cargo, and loaded it up with a lot more mines than 12. I used the remote launch order. It launched something less than the number of launchers on the ship, and would not take further launch orders that turn. Repeating on subsequent turns, it would launch far fewer than the first time. The first time was something in the 8-11 range, with the subsequent turns in the 2-4 range. The mines launched on subsequent turns did go into the same group as the first, though.
