Looking for comments on possible mine suggestion.

I dunno, I like mines but think the SEIVG mines are far too destructive.

First thing I would do is reduce their attack power so that they are more likely to cripple ships than blow them apart..

Secondly, I would remove the 100 mines per sector limit as my view is that if you want to waste the resources, do what you want

Thirdly, I would make mines detectable on a random chance by certain types of scanner

Fourthly I would prefer the active mine sweeping component to be PDC rather than a specific mine sweeper... it makes sense if you think about it, mines seem to be small "thingies" that need to get close to attack ships, PDC are designed to shoot at small "thingies" designed to get close to attack ships.. it would add a considerable amount of tactical flexibility to fleet composition
