Tables taken from Infolist v3.1 created by Eden Tan.

Torpedo/Mine Ratios

Cost/100 mines  MC/100  Min/100 (of each mineral)
--------------  ------  -------
Mark 1 Photon   100.00   100.00      
Proton Torpedo   50.00    25.00      
Mark 2 Photon    55.56    11.11
Gamma Bomb       62.50     6.25    
Mark 3 Photon    48.00     4.00    
Mark 4 Photon    36.11     2.78            
Mark 5 Photon    63.27     2.04    
Mark 6 Photon    54.69     1.56
Mark 7 Photon    44.44     1.23   
Mark 8 Photon    54.00     1.00         

Best value/MC  : Mark 4 torps
Best value/Min : Mark 8 torps

Mines Laid  = # torps * (torp position)^2
Mines Swept = # beams * (beam position)^2 * minesweeprate
Mine Field Radius = sqrt(# mines)

NOTE: The formula for laying/sweeping mines is based on the POSITION of the 
type of torp, not the actual tech of the torp - e.g. Mark 7 (tech 8, pos 9) 
gives 9^2 = 81 mines, not 8^2 = 64 mines
