Ran a level 2 "The Blockade"

Decided to mine the roids - everytime one popped my ship took damage stating someone had booby-trapped the asteroid.

Is this new? I've never seen this before?

Damage was minimal and manageable but I don't remember it ever happening before...just curious.

The asteroids in blockade are special like that - there is a note about it on eve-survial I believe.

I believe there's a couple missions like that. Been like that for quite a while.

Making it harder for gankers to locate you, making it more difficult for gankers to surprise you since some missions have fixed warpin points (just move your ships away from it) - mining in relative peace...more interesting view than typical belts...take your pick

{shrug} Would have been funnier if I'd lost a ship wouldn't it? Seems like a reach as it is, but okay...whatever floats your boat fella.

Yes, there have been a few missions like it.
Also, I do remember a mission that had proximity mines in it.

Well, still better than patient zero and the constant "infinite-range" AoE killing off the drones.

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

First asteroid didnt hit you ,beacon did.If you checked what players wrote about that mission (eve sruvival ), you would know that is common thing to happen.There is nothing bugged or not working, you just didnt know that asteroids are trapped.But from reason only known to CCP asteroids are not making dmg on you beacon is doing that instead.

Anyway conclusion is dont mine in Blockade mission space and next time use http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MiningInMissions for more info about that .

There is few low lvl missions that have high lvl ore like Artifact Recovery lvl 1 mission (Arkonor), and you can farm them for seven days,that is nice income for new players that are mining.
