Came across this and was not sure if I should laugh or cry.

I was happily going about my business with full hull/ shields, no-one even targeting me, when BOOM.

Insta-death...

Had a looksee at the combat logs and "lo-and-behold, Lordy Lordy!"


... officer Tricobalt Mine's Mine Explosion dealt 8678 (37566) shield damage to you.

This was a cut-and-paste from the combat log.


I'm sorry. Please fix it. Or give me some more hull.

It's been like that for a long time

Seriously, so whats new?

Since when was it a problem posting cause for concern on a open forum?

It's the first time I have personally experienced this so whats the problem in raising it?

Oh, my comment was to remark that this issue is not new. Its an old thing which is yet to be resolved by cryptic....

Oh sorry. Humble apologies. See I misinterpreted your intent Did I mention that it was a ROFL Boom?

Happens to everyone everyday has an easy counter though:
1: Make sure you re-enable reticles for mines and small craft (as of S-6 it's default setting is never show, utter stupidity in my opinion)
2: Make sure you have any of the following ready: EWP, FAW or TS

Problem officially solved

Not if you are a serious PvP escort pilot.

1. There is no time in PvP to try and switch targets through all the spam in PvP.
   
2. Please explain how EWP, FAW would work on an DHC escort build.

Problem officially unsolved.

If it happens to my enemy, it is working as intended. If it happens to me, hell nerf !

Finally someone that understands my frustrated needs!
