I tried mines with "only weapons" damage type warheads and they exploded whether the ship had weapons or not. Of course the ship with no weapons wasn't damaged at all, which makes these special mines pretty useless.

This was fixed in one of the most recent Gold patches. They now do not explode if they can not do any damge. I forget whether it was patch 3 or 4 that included the fix.

That was what I thought too, but it is not what I observed in Version 1.91. Did anybody else test this???

I thought bases (but not satellites) could, if you set their engines per move and max engines to something other than zero... of course, I haven't tried it since around Version 1.31...
