Edited by: Tearulie on 23/04/2007 02:49:23 Happened this evening.
So I am sitting in my covert ops in an exploration site watching my corp mates mine an gneiss field.
One of the guys is there in a myrmidon mining with mining drones *thats what happens when combat pilots step up to help the industrialists* when suddenly his mining drones are coming my way.
They latch onto the side of my covert ops, and start doing damage to the shields. Now at this point I am thinking WTF. My cloak did not break, and I was not in the gang. But these mining drones were definably kicking my ass with a quickness.
I didn't think to screen shot the event as i just hit the warp to save the ship wich was already going into hull. My logs do not show me taking damage either. Was quite the strange event.
Anyone else have any funny stories of things going array that just shouldn't? I can just seem me now trying to explain that one to a gm. They would be like yeah, and how much have ya drank?

Edited by: Sir Emi on 23/04/2007 03:55:37 I think the mining drones mistook your ship for a roid and started mining ya lol. The damage seems to match the mining drones yeld for a Myrmidon...
It probably has something to do with you beeing cloaked and looking like a roid maybe if you are cloaked you do not register as a ship anymore, you are an object in space, maybe in the roids category...
That's the only explanation i can think of.
If it's true, then we have a big exploit bug on our hands, a way to detect cloaked ships maybe, camp gate with drone ship and mining drones, hit mine all and they go for the cloak ship and uncloak it maybe... if anyone can confirm this, it would be great.

well, maybe a way to kill them, but it defiantly didn't uncloak me. I thought it odd since it was literally landed on my ship like i was a roid.

It doesn't matter if they didn't uncloak you, if you gate-camp in 0.0 and someone jumps in cloaked or cloaks and tries to slowboat, and you hit mine on the drones, they go to the cloaked ship, and you send the interceptor after them to uncloak him... it gives away his position, so it's an exploit... if it's true.

Funny story. During the last mining op I was on, a corpmate warped his Buzzard in to our Covetors and did say that a mining drone landed on him. The Buzzard was not cloaked, and I didn't see anything odd on my client. I believe it vanished when he turned the camera or something.
No damage involved.
