[/qb][/QUOTE]Two [i]instances[/i] among hundreds of stories. Besides, neither involved ships deploying mines in combat with other ships- mines were used exclusivly to defend stationary positions (in orbit of said positions at any rate). The closest we ever saw was Janeway leaving torpedos behind as mines against the Krenim- it shows it can work: add in some guideance systems (like the DS9 mines) and viola! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] [QUOTE]What should work, but is almost never seen, is cloaked mines.[/QUOTE]Well of course they're never seen, they're [i]CLOAKED[/i]. Duh. ;) Seriously though, I imagine cloaked mines are as much a danger the deplyer as the deployee (a new word is born! huzzar!) as such not the sort of thing you want to dump in your wake if you have a mind to turn around anytime soon. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, that leads to the old "can Romulans detect their own cloaks" debate. Considering their power structure, I'd think they must be able to- to avoid the enivetible coup attempt. On the other tenticle, we also never saw Starfleet wide up and use toropedo as depth charges (somehow Kirk manages this with [i]phasers[/i] in BoT, but that's bad effects). [/QB][/QUOTE]
