Thanks This answered my question but brought up an other one. - laying mines. I picked up explosive mines with my transport wanting to drop it of near the wormhole. I jettison them - I believe I destroyed them - right? So Can I lay mines with a Transport or do I need a Mine layer to do it?
Thanks again for helping me out

You have to have a mine layer component on the ship to lay mines. The number and level of the mine layer component/s will determine how many mines you can lay per turn.

Actually all Mine Layer components "Can lay mines in space at the rate of 2 per game turn".
Only the storage capicity increases per Mine Layer component upgrade.
If you want 10 mines launched per turn, you need 5 Mine Layer components.
