I've noticed when things get too hot in sec 7, Someone will start mining the station. This wouldn't annoy me too bad, except that when I appempt to leave full blast away from the station, I STILL wind up dead! I hate station mining, sometimes I find it tempting myself and somehow keep from doing it. I used to think the one solution was station nuking, I thought the nuke would make the mines go off. I found out not too long ago that it didn't work. So, how does one start knocking out mine without dying, or better yet, how do you knock out mines, even while the miner is still mining?

bus.
Or buses, depends on how angry the miner is at you, and how many mines are right by the dock.

Well, If the miner is not homed in the current sector, you could always destroy them.

You're probably referring to what I've started doing as of late. I hop in a Wraith with prox mines and dual gemmies. I boost out about 500-600m and lay like crazy, creating a large sphere around the station. What you're doing is not paying attention to the yellow dots and boosting into them after your invulnerability is wearing off.

I've made it a point to *NEVER* mine a station except in nation activities (defending flag, breaking up a red/gold fleet after/during an attempt). And I don't use lightning mines either.

What you need to do is undock, and don't move, but look around and find a hole in the mine field. Or even better, target the mines and destroy them.

Hmm....after some thought, it'd kinda suck not to be able to mine stations...although it is kind of a cheap tactic....if it is used correctly, it's a cool tactic....

It's just missing something to it...like most of this test:-\

It's only fun with prox mines, though. L-mines .... I think they should each have 20k armor and be larger targets. Make them bigger and stuff. They're annoying right now, because of their huge damage yet small profile.

Prox mines are funny because it's by your only carelessness that you boost into them. :-D

Nukes will make mines go off eventually. (It's a bug that needs fixing)

needs to be off-topic, problem will be fixed, known problem/issue that people can't seem to get over.
