No, what I did was change gravitic sensors to mine detectors level 1-5 and changed gravitic cloak level on mines to level 1-5 so a level 1 detector can see a level 1 mine, and so on. IMO, the different sensor and cloaking abilities are hard coded so you can't just add a mine detector/cloak ability, although I have not tried. I also seperated mine, mine detector, and mine sweeping techs so you can research independantly, except mines level 1 is a requirement for mine detector and mine sweeping techs.
