People have mines. People have missiles. Is it really THAT big of an issue these days, when we moreso than ever use explosive ordinance..
When missiles are unavoidable means of killing LFs, that means they're going to be even better at hammering down VHFs. This probably means that they're objectively overpowered and require nerfs. Then we're back to unkillable LFs.
Any LF that runs into a mine while deshielded has done something horribly wrong. Ships are not balanced around suboptimal use, since then any agile but flimsy fighter could be considered "bad" because a below-average pilot might not use its agility to its fullest to compensate for the ship's weaknesses. Anyways, it's pretty difficult to lose your shields in a Liberator to begin with, really.
