Basically I tried to set things so if it is released (baring against a really small target) it should be able to see it even after the target has moved 40-60k km from point it triggered the mine.  It is mainly intended for Wolvers so they are usually 9000 tonnes or larger.

I recommend you search the v6.1 bugs thread for references to mines.  Certainly there are versions of Aurora where mines were majorly bugged.

Awww hell...found it in the bug report...heck I even found my bug report on the first incident...seems to be a code bug that is causing things to not work due to the change that buoys don't require endurance in 6.10.

Well drat!
