I have created the following ship, with the intention to place mines near jump points leading to or at planets in contested systems. For some reason, however, the minelayer does not actually lay its mines. For clarification, I have tried both the 'Msl Launch' button on the task group screen and the 'launch missiles at' command. The mines are not showing up, no matter what I try. I am at a loss at what could be wrong, but perhaps you are not.
My sincerest apologies in case I posted in the wrong place,

Note: My technologies have advanced since I first designed the mines. The mines shown here might be a little bit stronger than the actual mines still in service.
