Subsurface Mining Bug?

I've been mining for Tritium out in the black, just to take a break from exploring from time to time. Never really got into mining before, but have become quite proficient, so I don't think what I'm seeing is me...

I fire my displacement missile at a subsurface deposit, hold the trigger, the notice in the HUD says deploying missile (or whatever it says) and usually I then get the moving line, release trigger and either extraction successful or extraction failed. However this last occasion, on about 30% - 40% of the time, maybe a bit less, after getting the deploying message the display just snaps back to the standard target display, no moving line. First time I thought maybe I released the trigger (although that should give you an extraction failed message), but after that first occasion I'm quite sure I've still got the trigger engaged. Whatever, it's a significant waste of displacement missiles.

Anyone else seen this? I suspect there's been an update between the last time I mined and this one, and I've never had this happen before. 🤷‍♂️
 
I've not had this but for me when depleted they still remain as targets which can cause a waste of ammo. I've only recently started mining again so this could have been like it since Odyssey launched.
 
Yes, I've had that too, it's irritating, and not since Odyssey launched, that definitely started after an update not that long ago.

Same here, target remains even though its depleted. However, at least you can see the percentage of resources remaining when the subsurface deposit is targeted - in the contacts panel - so it is possible to avoid wasting ammo/time.
 
In Odyssey I have found that the last missile never produces any ore, even if timed right. And that combined with the pulse wave scanner not working properly in Odyssey means that when I want to mine for Tritium I currently log in to Horizons where it all still works OK.
