Laying Mines problem since new Patch, Bug?

[Puke]

on how mines are triggered, the general concencus that i have read on the board, and what i have seen with smaller fleets, has been that when a field is triggered, mines attack one ship till it dies, then go for another.

mostly people complain about this, but I dont mind too much really. the odd thing is, that i just plowed a fleet of dreadnaughts through a hostile warp point (okay, it wasn't to bright of me). six bought the farm, and about 7 others were damaged rather heavily. the fact that some were damaged without being destroyed makes me wonder if something changed in the new Version, or if we have had a major missconception about whats going on. or if i have been missunderstanding the entire discussion.
