Thats diabolical. the only problem is you cant do it to an ally (cant engage combat with them) so you would have to do it to a enemy or someone with a NI treaty. then the problem occurs when a warship not set to 'dont get hurt' wants to move through the sector where you are laying mines, and greases the white elephant.

I like the idea of editing the component file alot more, as it is (a) reliable and (b) invokes alot less complaints about cheating.
