I think the problem was that they never expired.
So you would undock and lay a few mines to see how they worked, then get some random killmail months later when someone else wandered into them. This had a nasty effect when you dropped the mines in empire, of CONCORD suddenly appearing as if by random.
Plus I believe it's also due to the burst damage stuff that affected missiles.

They were used as thus: spawn a HUGE mine belt 300km away from the gate. Kill people who lag out from loading all the mines (think each mine were loaded in much the same way as a cargo container was).
The thing was, there was a delay on the mines. If you moved your ship fast enough you could make the mines explode AFTER you moved through the belt. An interceptor could disarm a mine field by flying through it...

They also had a tendancy to destroy each other so while you may lay a field of 300 mines if they were too close to each other they'd all go up with the first one to get triggered.
I think they also stopped working entirely when missiles stopped doing area of effect damage as mines were technically just missiles with an infinate flight time and no velocity.
I used to get loads of these during beta/launch as loot. I actually got them more often than missiles thus developing the technique of just flying away from npcs dropping mines behind me and waiting for them to fly into them just so I used them up.
