Mysterial confused the original question.

Currently in SE4, all mines are "smart", and assume races with treaties should not be blown up.

Apache wants mines to default to "dumb" and require a computer or sensor package to top them from blowing up friendlies. (They shouldn't ever blow up your own ships, right?)

This would allow you to limit the movement of friendlies through your core systems (dumb mines), while allowing limited access to outlying systems, or "warp point highways", so your allies can send reinforcements through.
