Our group modified the mine rules early on.  Here's what we came up
with...

Beam Space Mine Layer (3 mines)
Mass: 3 	Cost: 10
Does 9d6 BEAM damage to any ship within 3" of mine.  Screens and armor 
protect.

Nuclear Space Mine (3 mines)
Mass: 3 	Cost: 10
Does 1d6 damage to any ship within 3" of mine. Screens and Armor do NOT
protect.

EMP Space Mine (3 mines)
Mass: 3 	Cost: 10
Forces threshold checks per EMP missile rules in More Thrust to any ship
within 3".

Antimatter Space Mine (3 mines)
Mass: 6 	Cost: 20
Does 2d6 damage to any ship withing 3" of mine.  Screens and Armor do
NOT
protect.

I've seen some good ideas on the net lately regarding mines.  I may
modify
the above rules a bit.	I'll be paying close attention to what others
are
doing in their FT games.
