When some one spam spam spam spam mines, you can use yor CD from safe distance and blow them all up. You just need skill enough.
Removing shich things like mines, missiles, torps, will make snubfights to boring and to long. In this part its balanced.
P.S. If you can't win fight on fighter, not means, that some of weapons, or speed or something more should be replaced/changed/removed. Its means that you need more practise and luck, or buy gunship with missiles.;)
