Can anyone confirm if proximity mines can destroy missiles and torps?
A question for experienced users of proximity mines...

I cannot. And I use mines quite a lot on my traders.
Then again, it's mostly ships in RES and CZs who use missile weapons. Your ordinary pirate you meet on your trade routes usually sports just lasers or cannons.
That being said - even if they do work against missiles (Which doesn't seem very probable, I'd guess you need some mass to trigger the mine) there are way more efficient ways to deal with them. Equip one point defense on the top of your ship and one on the belly, add an ECM and no missile can touch you.

Thanks for confirming. I'm a Pirate and use them to escape bounty hunters and enforcers at CGs. I'm also learning to use the offensively too - surprisingly good
