Using Missles and Mine

When is a good time to shoot them under a battle? I usually shoot 1-2 missiles when the nme is coming to me from my front and i think this makes missile not very useful since there are not many chance u can use them. For mine, i dont even know how to time it!

Would be appreaciated if somebody can teach me how to get handy with them!

When I am tailing a ship I use a missle and his arse. But when I am tailing him, his buddies are tailing me (you can tell when you have weapons fire coming from behind you) so that is when I use mines. There has been many times that I'll hear a ship behind me blowing up becuase the mine finished the job for me when I had that guy in my sights before and may have lost him during the battle.
Mines are also good on destroying cap ships. As I am passing the cap ship by I'll drop some mines.

Probably destroy space and time.

I use mines like Greb also. Whenever I see lots of fire coming from behind me. I also try to make sure I'm going at least kind of fast (sometimes the mine goes forward either homing on me or the target in front, or something)

I just drop mines like mad when I'm in a furball. Some of them are bound to hit.
