The problem isn't with the Warhead weapon type, but with ramming. Ramming always does standard damage, modified by the values in Settings.txt. Mine warheads can use any damage type, although some (like Skips Normal Shields and Skips All Shields) are pointless on mines.

Oooo.... I like that. And then you keep some capture ships and a repair ship just a sector away....
Yeessss...
How devious....

Not really an option for me right now...all of the AI's use SDDs....

I need to mod in a way around it, probably using the "Only Security Stations" damage type on some sort of weapon and giving the SDD comp a Security Station value of 0, or something...

Another option might be to make it a seeker? They do have limited combat range.
