I've not yet played SD against humans, i intend to do so soon, but i've not yet figured out when and where to lay heavy mines

Heavies are the lightest minelayers... easiet to overcloak, easiest on fuel supply. Mml with a single heavy layer can be a nice part of a small tactical cloaked fleet.

Heavies are most useful in large areas with only sparce density of warships (enemy has to chase at higher warp). Heavies are the most dangerous to try to crash/sweep destroy into small fields when only maybe 40% chance of hitting minefield.

Heavies are also nice for ship trade. Useful for friends but if they ever betray you, you can travel through them at warp 8 with no danger (SD gets 2 extra warp levels safe).
