Proximity Mines...

Has anyone noticed any problems with Proximity mines? Last night I was trying a tactic to use proximity mines as a defensive measure against attacking ships, I was in a leviathan with a quantum Mk II for a top speed of 750, and a burn speed of 3000. I jumped to Thuban from Saphirre and was immediately jumped by 4 or 5 red ships. I initiated inertial + burn and quickly got my speed to 3000. Maintaining my flight path, I rotated 180 deg and as soon as the enemy ships were 5000 away, I deployed a prox mine. The enemy ships were tightly spaced flying directly toward me. At 2600 from the deployed mine I slowed to 750. The enemy ships reached the deployed mine and BANG! but wait, none of the enemy ship were destroyed! I've repeated this numerous times and it appears to be a bug. Can someone confirm if this is a bug or working as intended?

Some were likely damaged, but yes, mines have been exploding too early by most accounts. This is being addressed in the official 1.108 update. You can read more about it here (near the bottom): http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtop ... 906&page=2
