Problem:
Don't embed.
Generally assumed cause:
Usually attributed to being in wing or crew. I cannot currently test any of these on crew operations since I have no turret mining tools.
Possible solution:
What I am seeing is that if there are either surface deposits or sub-surface deposits of the Core mineral, it doesn't matter if I am in wing, or individual ship, the seismic charges will not embed until I have cleared the surface and/or subsurface deposits first.
Problem:
Immediate detonation.
Again usually attributed to being in wing or crew.
BUT
If I accidentally target a sub-surface deposit with a seismic charge, in wing, or individual ship it will detonate on contact and sometimes release a deposit fragment.
If I do it more than three times, the rock will usually spontaneously crack.
These first two are looking more and more to me like DEV intended results.
Problem:
Detonation Yield Graph not visible to all players in a wing.
To me this is definitely a bug that is tied to not all players in the wing seeing the results of the prospector scan.
I have been able to embed SC's with each ship in the same rock, in wing or just in Private Group, BUT. Both have to prospect it and then pick separate fissures by eye and both will get a graph showing the detonation yield for ONLY the charge it placed. Only one charge per ship. If I try to have a ship place a second charge, the graph disappears for both ships. I usually get the rock cracked but the charges do not sync and go off at the same time.
It would be interesting to see what happens with more than two ships..
