Perhaps my explanation could have been more clear.

The chance to hit a mine depends on the warp speed, calculated as the minimum warp speed necessary to reach the fleet's waypoint, but it also depends on the distance travelled within the minefield.

For example, if a fleet starts 2 ly within a minefield and travels straight out, then the distance travelled within the minefield is 2 ly, but the chance to hit a mine depends on the distance to the next waypoint (or more accurately where the fleet will be next year if it doesn't hit a mine in that minefield). If the next waypoint is 16 ly away or less, then the fleet is safe, but if the next waypoint is 65 to 81 ly away (and the fleet is therefore travelling at warp 9), then there is a definite probability of hitting a mine within those first 2 ly. Not much of a probability, perhaps, but enough to ruin that player's day if there are (or rather were) a thousand chaff in that fleet (plus of course the damage to the other ships in the fleet).

As another example, if a fleet is travelling at warp 9 (and travelling a distance of more them 65 ly to the next waypoint), then the probability of hitting a mine is much higher if the entire trip is within a minefield than if only 2 ly of the trip is within a minefield.
