minefields can still kill a dreadnaught outright. theyre fine, if not still too powerful.

A Scarab can deploy a maximum of 75 mines (3(batches) x 5(mines/batch) x 5(mine launchers). No wonder its a favoured minelayer...until the cruiser layout update atleast.

enough mines to get a Dread from 100% hull / armor to <80% hull if they all hit
and alway remember if the enemy is good enough to dodge mines, try detonating them manually (they deal a good amount of aoe-damage as well)

scarab have 5 launcher (cruiser) 
i think the main-damage-problems are:
a) to do max damage, the enemy must run over your mines
b) mines (like all projectiles i think) have a maximum number per gadget, which can be active at a time.... for scarab its about 15 mines (5 mines per drop // 3 drops, till the gadget refuse any orders)
same limits do (or seems to) apply for:
- beacons (i think its also ~15)
- missles
- fighters

there has to be a limit. The server can only handle so many in-game objects at a time.
Mines are fine. Perhaps ICC mines need a boost.
They only do damage if u run over them, or if detted nearby. And they are subceptible to PD n pulsing.

Kluth mines are also most effective because of levelled weapons id say.

Even UGTO mines are deadly. UGTO minelayer frigate can instagib itself with its full load of mines -- manual detonation and suicide for the lose. That's...impressive, considering I didn't think they could deal that much damage. I haven't done that with ICC mines yet, but since I did it to myself twice in a row I think it might have been me being unused to EMP mines' blast radius.
Anyone know if EMP mines have a higher blast radius than TN?
