Summary
A simple weapon, mines are deployed behind a moving minelayer, and can be used to break-up incoming fleets or protect vital targets. Scientists have no shortage of ideas for new mine payloads, but only time and research will tell if any of them are viable.
This mission section lays mines and is also able to clear enemy mine fields.

"Unfortunately for the 3 man Wodaan crew (1 pilot, 1 WO and 1 engineer to maintain the Mine PDA), "well enough" still left plenty of room for system quirks which make service aboard the minelayer ships "interesting" at best. Jamming in the mine launch system is still chronic, despite numerous overhaul and equipment changes, and it is not rare for a new crew to be lost as the jammed mine goes active while still in the launcher." — Excerpt from the data log on the "Wodaan" class Minelayer corvette
