How to selfdestruct mines?

I've never actually bothered with them. Are they actually worth choosing over, say, a similar kT of satellites?

I couldn't say. I rarely use satellites save for stationary "scouting"

Mines are nice because they're quick to build and you don't have to worry about making sure their weapons have ammo.

Ooh, I always use satellites. Placing a few dozen of them, equipped with APBs, in a circular formation around a warp-point brings forth a rather neat light-show when the enemy comes through.

Guess I'll have to try out mines to see if it brings an even better result. I don't like the thought of having to continously deploy new ones, though.

Yeah it's a bit annoying, but they do straight structure damage so you don't need as many as you might think.

I've been gearing up to try out sattelites in my PBW game. I think I'll go for it.
