I apologize for misunderstanding parts of your post, though I think my guys would have rather fled than die for a hollowed-out rock...
This is completely understandable, and I fully support it.
This one, not so much. There are mines at chokepoints and strategic points within the route. But these are Wraith-class Pulsemass Mines (except directly within a couple kilometers of the station), meaning that they don't do anything to ships in subspace, unless you tamper with the stealth mine and activate its self-destruct. As I understand it, the ship destroyed had only sublight capabilities.
Directly around the hidden station (everything is retractable into the station so that it can hide, as noted within the R&D...) there are some more standard mines used across the galaxy and the Shadowwrath-class Proximity Mine. I'm assuming that this is the mine type you were referencing, given that otherwise the only thing we're dealing with are dozens of laser cannons or starfighter-grade ion cannons. None of which are likely to pose a threat to such a large starship as described...
Of course, this is assuming that the starship has managed to successfully navigate through the asteroid field in which the station(s) is hiding...
Like I said, for future reference. Like Ahnk, I would prefer to be consulted if an R&D or a Confederate unit is going to play a central part within a plot point.
