It appears that there is no check to see if you own the mines that you're disrupting. I thought this might be a bug, but there simply isn't a check at all. Should there be a restriction that you can't disrupt your own mines?

I always found it kind of funny. Just a hazard of the trade.

I would think so, just as you cannot attack any other of your own personal assets or those of your corp.

I think it is natural that you could disrupt your own mines. No other mines can be in the same sector if I have mine there.... Accidents happen - kind of like photoning a corpie or detting a planet with a corpie on it...

I lean toward that view. Don't fix what isn't broken. I could spend another year "cleaning up", but I don't want to mess with anything that I don't have a very good reason to mess with.

Yeah. Leave it. More fun that way and gives us another topic to laff at someone about....

I personally believe the game shouldn't stop you from being stupid. You should also be able to kill all your other assets as well. It's your own fault if you kill your own ship or figs anyway.

Hey now, I resemble that remark! LOL

Seriously, I've never seen that happen before.

But, when I'm in the beta I try to do goofy stuff just to see if I can break anything... it's my "job"! :lol:
