An Interdictor can mantain a larger Interdiction field for a much longer time, however. A pulse-mass mine essentially explodes and creates a small hyperspace bubble, and in a short time the effects vanish.
I think we're talking about two different pulse mass systems.
The abolishers worked like an interdictor field, right? Except they shredded the ship entering hyperspace. These sound like something to discourage someone from following.
In any case, it cannot circumvent the rules in total damage.
If I udnerstnad this correctly, the pulsemass mines they speak of are used in the original Hpan Battle Dragons, and have been mentioned in a few books. They just basicly stop any ship from making the jump to hyperspace for like 10 minutes(or so), and can't be turned off at will, or recharged. I think it shoudl be used basicly like a gravity well generator, but only be able to be charged for limited times, and it turns itself off.

just hesitant on that as it takes an entire ship to produce a grav well effect, IE: an interdictor, to give that same effect to a mine...

Because they aren't canon?
Or because they're ubercrap?
Because from what i see, they aren't...
Hows about i simply use them in their gravwell capacity?

for the same reason we dont build abolishers

For what reason?
I simply use them as interdictors.
*points to his entire indigineous fleet manifest*
Hence the fact that the only Interdictor i have was captured off NReb.

I never said it didnt, chill.
Its just they arnt allowed if I recall

Jesmins right.
BDs have always had pulsemass generators.

personally they all look ok to me, except one ship has a pulsemass...
