Episode mission rewards ?

Why do we seem to get Mines for completing episodes? Mines are one of the least used weapons in the game because of the low damage and long cooldown. If we have to get mines,at least drop the cooldown on them. I will never understand why a low damage weapon has such a long cooldown. Getting kind of sick of getting mines because as they are now i would never use them,

    LoL...:) Maybe that's the entire point. Possibly less likely to cause an imbalance in the pvp game than some other rewards just because most people will bank the item instead of playing it.

    I don't use Mines because players can shoot them or simply avoid them. If they had a higher damage output, or some way for them to not be easily destroyed, then I would be more likely to use mines. I suspect that is the reason why most do not use mines.

    You don't even need to do that - mines are so pathetic than another completely viable option is just to fly straight through them ;)

    The one and only benefit of mines comes against cloaked ships in PvP, and the map has to be flooded with them for it to make any difference which ruins the experieince for everyone.
