Is this something that requires an enemy to attack, and then they will be launched?
emporors child, you need to launch mines built on a planetary surface just as you do satellites or fighters - build the mines or ship them in and then just hit the "I" key and mark 'mines' -
personally, I like mines as planetary system defence weaponry - nothing makes me laugh so much as watching my hot seat chum running into a whopping big mine field with his troop transports just when he has withdrawn his sweepers back to base
