Ghost ships and retreating MINES?

[dmm]

Well, I, for one, would love to see combat replays of the enemy fleets being blown to smithereens by my warp point minefields. Sound effects, like desperate radio pleas for help, engines tearing themselves apart as they are fruitlessly thrown into full reverse, and explosive booms as the vast emptiness of space is briefly filled with atmosphere and protoplasm, would measureably add to my enjoyment.

I would NOT, however, be happy to see that my entire stock of mines had been launched to counter a ghost.
