MInes: How to build them, how to deploy them

Mine tech, which you mention you have. 5 levels max.

Explosive warheads tech, to put something in the mines. 3 levels max. You might as well go for 3 first, because it's a fairly cheap area and it's strangely hard to kill an organic or crystalline ship w/ 100-pt warheads.

Perhaps I'm wrong then. I have to first research Mine tech? I already have Mine Warhead II but I need some other technology to put the warheads in? Boy, this sure is frustrating. They really need a better tutorial/strategy guide.

Please confirm I need more then just Mine Warhead technology.

Yup. You need at least level 1 in Mines, for which you need 1 level of Construction.

IIRC the Explosive Warheads area also gives you Cobalt Warheads (for kamikaze ships), but this isn't too useful.
