Seismic charge insta-detonating...

This happened to anybody else!?

Been out doing some core mining in the Orca this evening, opened up my ship and some chap joined me for the ride...

Anyway, my seismic charge launcher suddenly started instantly detonating its charges upon contact with the roids. Chart in top right didn’t pop up so I had no way of knowing what I was doing...

This resulted in a roid exploding when I was less than 100 metres away, my ship managed to tank the blast ok but it could have been ALOT worse!

Anyhow...

I’m about to head back to the ring, if anyone fancies hopping aboard and making some credits my gamer tag is Maymo...

...if we make it back in one piece that is. 🧨 🧨

Thank you... was mining today and had the same issue. Also causes my ship to take a beating, but im left with 1/3rd of the resources I would normally get.
Please say this isn't a new bug.

It is a bug but I don’t think it’s new...

Met a CMDR out on the ring today who was claiming that multi crew screws with the seismic charge launcher, he didn’t seem at all surprised by the problems I’d been having...

...he was much more concerned that I wasn’t using a DSS to locate hotspots. 🤓

I never bother, just drop in anywhere and start pulsing...🤣

He’s right though, the second someone comes on my ship I begin having major core mining issues.

Lol, awesome. Just had my brother join me cuz we wanted to try multi-crew and we noticed he was having problems accessing my systems. Charge launchers were going nuts. Wasn't finding core asteroids. It's nice they add features that don't work, lol.



** Ok, update... I left crew/wing.. re-logged and the charges are working normally again. Still can't find crap though, lol.

Also... they need to program these idiot limpets a little better.... there's a 70% chance of them slamming into an asteroid because their avoidance is non-existent.

I tested over the weekend my Krait Mk2 outfitted for deep core mining, no issues whatsoever (except for the dumb limpets suiciding) - so it is related to multi-crew only.

Yep.

Limpets dashing themselves on the rocks is totally not fun, don’t know why FD don’t make them invincible to everything but point defense...

It’s high time we got guardian limpets FD!!

not only multi-crew, but also happens in wings. took my brother deep core mining in a wing and sometimes his seismic charges explode on impact, or sometimes mine will. if we are within close proximity, we also have issues with surface deposits not dropping anything, he also says i often fly straight through asteroids, and ive witnessed him doing so as well on my screen. bottom line is, wing/multi-crew play is very out of sync. and has been for a while now.

I've been Void Opal Core Hunting in my Clipper and made my first Billion. Started on 300,000,000 approx and 2 trips to a station selling it at over 1.6 million per tonne and got allied with them as well, it's how I went from Entrepreneur to Elite in 2 days!

I had this insta-det of the charges the other day too. Flew to another ring and it was back to normal. Not sure what the deal was.

[Leaving this necro open as it's still valid]

There was an Xbox-specific seismic charge multi-crew issue on the tracker, but it was closed as a duplicate and linked by QA to the Xbox wing mining seismic charge issue report.
If you could all vote for and add to that one, it may help:
