I hate that fights revolve around mines. I will always be terrible at this game so long as mines continue to be the main source of Fighter dogfight damage.
I'm not really qualified to comment on balance as I'm horrible at PvP, but.. I wish fighter dogfights were based on guns/missiles/torpedoes rather than mines. Something needs to be done, because right now it feels as if you have no control over the flow of dogfights.
