I have had some thoughts on mines for year and these are some ideas that might possibly work:
Mines can not be within 30-50km radius of a station or a stargate
Mines can not be within 10km of a warp in beacon (such as belts and other beacons)
Mines can only be deployed in 0.0
Mines are not triggered by pods, but if a pod is in the blast radius of a mine and something else triggers it, it will be affected.
You can not put more than X many mines within the radius of another mine (due to lag issues, maybe max 10 or 20 mines within 100km from mine)
Mines must be placed with an x amount of distance from each other so they won't be able to go off at the same time.
Variants: Simple mines, launched from a mine launhcer, low damage, small blast radius, takes 10 seconds to become active.
Complex mines: Need to be launched from a mine launcher, then anchored, due decent amount of damage, decent proximity radius.
Special types: ECM mine, works like an ecm burst
Capacitor neutralizer mine: Drains x amount of cap
Cloak detector (aka the forum bomb): A deployable mine that sends a burst that uncloaks all ships in a 15 km radius, must be anchored 15km from a gate or station, sends a burst every 1 minute. No others can be placed within 100km of said mine.
The Cloaked mine: This one will probably never be seen (no pun intended). A cloaked mine that has a 5km activation trigger, uncloaks when something gets within 7 km, cloaks after 30 sec if it doesn't explode or is deactivated.
All mines except the first type can be locked and destroyed, but do damage when detonated.
Maybe a special module can be made to deactivate and and scoop mines that have been anchored.
This could also mean a new ship class, the more complex mines would take more space in the cargo (specially the cloak detector) and the launchers only can be used by those ships (a new t2 ship or a subsystem for a new t3 ship?)

my bad.
Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
