okay, I've been playing with L-Mines...

apparently a hit from an L-Mine does not count as an NFZ violation.

however, on occasion if a lightning mine is attacked, both the person who laid the mine and the one who attacked it get a tKOS... or at least it seems like that's what's happening.

when an L-Mine is destroyed, does it's explosion inflict damage?

one other thing, and then I'll be out of your hair... when an SF comes flying out after you, shouldn't they appear as hostile on your radar? That's the most annoying thing.......

The lightning mines do have a damaging effect when destroyed--but it is only effective within about 20 meters or so of the mine. They're effectively balloons. Pop one from a distance and you don't feel anything. Pop one when it's an inch from your face and you get a nice faceful of expanding latex/rubber and air.

I did this first....piffle.

Yeah, so Blackhole was mining the corvus station in Sedina. Can we make mine damage count as an NFZ violation? Pretty please?

yea, the damage caused by popping the mine seems to count as an NFZ violation, but otherwise not...

as much as I love the perpetually popping station guards produced by mining station exits, this needs to be fixed... ASAP.

...aaaand now yer in tumblemonster's harem because of this...

Har Har.

Tumble has issues... let's leave him and his imaginary shrink out of this.
