Minefields and minesweepers

Two questions. First, is there any way to preplace mines on a map? Say I want to put a minefield around a warp point, is there any way to do that? I imagine it would be something like creating a battlegroup of mine objects and setting them to be within a radius of x from a given object, but since mines are units, not ships, I'm not so certian this would work. Any ideas?

You can place them like any other object; satelites are units and can be placed fine. At least I think they're units. Fighters certainly are, and they can be specifified in the random enemies file.
