How to selfdestruct mines?

Probably another oversight.

Aren't mines a rather cowardly weapon, though?

Is MM aware of the broken self destruction for mines?

Q - can you confirm that a ship with the self destruct component will self destruct?

No I can't. I didn't test it.

I reported the missing selfdestruction for mines to MM.

And I tested the self destruct component in a ship and I worked perfectly.

I've found mines are a good supplementary defense and often can delay opponents by forcing them to research minesweepers.

Far less so than slaughtering millions of women and children on small civilian colonies at every chance you get. The mines at least offer them some protection.

Just like the butchering of defenceless beings that you mention, mines too are risk-free for the user, as with most new weapon technologies, and thus no better. What I don't appreciate is someone harming others when they have no chance of being harmed in return. It is the trait of cowardice.
