Yeah, but supposing you were willing to live with that limitation, would they work at all? I mean, if you mined your entire system with just a few in each sector, would you keep taking out one enemy ship's engines each time his fleet moved? So he'd either have to leave a trail of crippled ships or else stop and repair them? Sounds like a nice delaying tactic to me, and would be immune to heavily shielded "minefield busters" which take out entire regular minefields.
