A couple sacrificial ships can wipe out a JP defense minefield in 10 seconds.Perhaps one could deploy mines in several smaller fields ranging from the JP to the likly direction of ship travel? (towards other stationary JPs for example).
A line of mines deployed in a transit system that only has two JPs, between these would allow your mines to keep pounding the enemy for several days if you wish.
