Whats the best way to use mines?

[weegee_101]

So far the only really good use I've found of mines is selling them at the start so I can get an engine upgrade right away. But what has everyone else used them for so far? I've thought about setting them in front of a Jump Gate, but the fear of a friendly ship coming through and detonating them is something that is pretty strong inside of me.

Good for finding cloaked ships if used right, also good for interferance with fighters and the odd station attack.

Might even be good for bombing runs on planets, haven't tried it though.

I like the sound of that bombing run thing, maybe I'll try it.

hehehe as the insurgents look up at this big ole rocket wondering "what the heck is that thing?"

{Sinister Laugh} I just tried the bombing run thing, I didn't have a target but none the less, it worked. I launched a leech mine and seconds after it hit the ground it detonated. I like this, this is very very cool. Now to try it on a building or two.
