Mines, variety needed

[... kur nubėgo?]

It's a bit boring with one type of mines used by everyone, don't you think?
Every single person with half a brain will use a Nuke mine layer on his fighter/bomber.
So, I thought about making the other mines a bit more useful. Not in terms of damage, but in blast aoe and/or speed.

For example, what I'd propose is.. Ripper mines upped to some 80% damage of the nuke mines.
That means around 8k.
+ it would need to be faster then a nuke mine. That means, either up it to some 100 speed, or lower Nuke speed to 60.
I'm in favor of the second option, as the Nuke mines are already pretty damn good.
So, it would look like this
Ripper Mine
Damage - 8.000
Speed - 80
HP - 20.000

Nuke mine
Damage - 10.000
Speed - 60
HP - 25.000

HP is important, though few people know about it. You maybe noticed that a nuke mine can be activated with mini-razor.
It'd be silly to have a Ripper mine, which does 8k damage, to have only 6k HP.
As it is now, with 6k, it can be activated with guns easily.

So, whatdya think?

I agree.
