It seems a bit complicated to try out, seeing how you will have individual choices to get one or the other.
I usually cloak on my last movement, so for 6 turns I expect no return fire, but yes, the swarm mines are an issue as they can't be killed by the AoE of the Nova cannon, so some fire has to be diverted.
Heavy torpedo usage is encouraged. I just wonder if killing faster would help more, or if I just shouldn't bother and load more torpedoes. I sure could afford them, assuming anyone's selling.
Thoughts for another day, I guess.
