One thing nobody's mentioned yet:
Shield-skipping mines will have no effect, since ships hit the mines before they can raise shields.
Shield-targetting, armor skipping, weapons-only, engines only, security station/boarding parties only, will all have nice effects.
The only problem is that you can't effectively lay engine-destroying mines in a black hole system, cause they get sucked down
PS: if you edit (paper&pencil icon above the text part) & delete (checkbox at top left of edit screen) your erroneous post, the thread will disappear as well.
