Roid Temperature Bug

May 27, 2010 David-Lister link
So ya.
I was mining in Azek one day not too long ago. My connection was really bad, and the mining progress bars were taking a few seconds to start again after the beams had finished.

I thought nothing of this, as it was lagged out, BUT....
I stopped mining in between the time that the progress bar had disappeared and was about to reappear.
i started moving away from the roid and back to the station, only to realize that i was "still mining" even though there were no beams displayed and i was like 3km from the roid.

Also the roid stopped heating up and actually began cooling. ore continued to fly out of my cargo hold with autojett while i was afk for a minute. i came back to a cool roid and a shitload of mining xp and ore.

i've been able to recreate this every once in a while, but it took me a while to figure out what was actualy happening. i have a screenshot of a lagged out HUD with Mining +20 spam going completely off the screen around here somewhere.

this is obviously very exploitable as, if you can recreate this event, you can mine a roid that stays at 10K, and just keep pulling ore out of it without even being near the roid.

like i said. i'm not 100% sure that this is how to make it happen, but i'm willing to bet that someone else has noticed it.
