No, the mines are the homing asteroids. 
And you're not meant to afterburn in the asteroids, you're just begging for death there! Although, on my first few runs of WC2, I'd think I was out of the asteroids already, and afterburn so I could autopilot quicker, and then - SPLAT! - pancake Blair.

once, on a really tough WCII mission, I had just gotten back, oh on my fifitieth try on the mission or so, finally beating it, and on a landing aproach with the Concordia when I got slapped with a monstrous asteroid... I was so frustrated... but then I took some pills and got over it

I played that mission only recently and I smashed my undamaged Broadsword flying at 320kps into an asteroid. It took all of my front shield and I'd say 95% of the front armour. So if you get damaged just a bit in the mission, an asteroid collision is fatal.
Hmm, I just realize that that is exactly what Quarto said, sorry.
I found it relatively safe to fly thorugh asteroids even on full speed in WC1/WC2 (not on ABs, though). Priv asteriods, however, now that was an adventure in a Centurion.
But I always afterburn through mines and never got I damaged, only when I flew slowly.
And that Ralari mission: I beat it when I tried the 2nd time. I think if you do not autopilot to the Ralari but fly there manually, you have more time to intercept and insult those Grathas. But I admit, it was the only mission in WC1 where I ordered my wingman to attack.

Actually, I liked fighting in asteroids in Privateer because when you go full speed the enemies run into the asteroids. Especially the Kilrathi. If your a good pilot you have the advantage. Although, if you suck at flying, you're done.

Hardest mission
For me, the hardest mission(s) i ever flew was the mission in WC2 where you had to recover the Data pod from the destroyed transport ship. It was so hard for me because I didn't know how to use the tractor beam! Another one was in WC3 when you had to protect the Behemoth for its final jump to Kilrah. Again, it was hard because I didn't figure out until after my 6th try at the mission, that the Behemoth was SUPPOSED to be destroyed!
(Now you see where I got my name from)
One other thing, how come the "Aces" are so easy?
In WC2, Jazz and Thrakath were simple to defeat.
In WC3, Hobbes and Thrakath are again quite easy.
In WC4, Seether is an absolute joke!
I don't think it's because i'm that good...

Difficulty setting
I was playing on the second to hardest difficulty setting (can't remember if it's Ace or what) for Hobbes/Thrakath, and I was playing on the hardest (nightmare?) for Seether. It didn't make a difference from the easiest to the hardest. I still killed them all pretty easily.
