Would laying mines in say Groups of 25 overcome this problem. Perhaps it would be a pain to squirt them out 25 at a time when laying mines, but then you have finer control over 'decommissioning' them later. Of course I never use mines or sats so I could be talking out my butt...
You could have done that in older Versions of SE4, but since v1.35 or so, all units deployed into space go into the same group. The only divisions are between sats/fighters/mines.
It is possible to have multiple independent Groups of fighters in the same sector, but that requires that they are launched at different places/times, then flown to one spot.
