I just ran into someone dumping mines at the spawn point at ESD.
Due to the new changes in splash damage to teammates, basically the mines turn into grief-devices now. I tested out a tricobolt mine doing the same thing, and yes you can even kill Lt. level ships with this.
It needs to be address, hopefully removed from the game. The whole idea of team-damage from projectiles and mines is just a bad idea waiting to happen...

Yup. Happened to me.
Perhaps there new AOE mine damage code gone bad?

Don't mines need an enemy within proximity in order to activate?

When they run out of time and expire, they explode doing splash damage now.

Ya, but Tricobalts have killed new miranda, right when they warp in.
If they was a gang of people droppin LOADS of mines, it could kill stronger ships.

Maybe disable the mine damage in non-combat space zones.

needs to be a police ship or something, or like you need to get arrested and your chracter thrown in the brig for like an hour with no way out!

Is this why ESD loading sometimes hangs?

Yeah, whatever's going on, I just ran into someone doing precisely this on ships coming out of warp at ESD.

We need a ship that when you do any kind of friendly fire it hails you with a warning. if do it again it will open fire.
