Hypothetical Idea

[AeternusDoleo]

At cruise speeds, mines would not track quick enough (especially with lag) to reliably hit anything smaller then a battleship. And I doubt we'll be making mines that can track at 350m/s... It'd also promote cheesy kills where a fighter enters cruise and spams mines on another fighter not equipped with a CD, using speed to be practically invulnerable.

There is a reason why all offensive araments are disabled in cruise, and should remain so.
