ghost mines

Mar 11, 2004 Spider link
Well, I was just entering 12 and saw my flag being mined.. I was alone in the sector at the time, and it was sorta confusing.

here are some screencaps:

Normal bugreport filed, but I figured others might want to see too

Perhaps somebody planted mines and then force disconnected?

Anansi, if you were alone in the sector, what was that green dot on your radar? was it a defbot that happened to be close?
(I only see the dot in the second picture, so it probably has nothing to do with it)

I forget. What normally happens when you select a mine? What color are mines on the radar?

blue if they are yours, otherwise yellow

@rogue: Well, they weren't in the sector when I jumped -into- it

@harvestmouse: NPCDEF 1-5

@raybondo: you usually get something like "lightningmine01" and a distance up at the right (tracker) , its not supposed to say "(none)" and claim you are 0 m from them ;)


the colouring on the radar looks ok though, as it isn't my mines
