Could this work?
With current Versions of SE IV, no. The mines will keep 'attacking' even when the ship(s) don't have any engines left. So you'll waste a huge amount of mines on a single scout or something stupid like that.

In the forthcoming patch, whenever that's ready, mines are finally smart enough not to attack a ship that doesn't contain any components of their 'special' damage-type if they have a 'special' damage-type. Then it will be a workable strategy.
