Mines?
Re: Mines?
The price was deliberately raised to reduce the amount of carpet mining so that it would change to just being key strategic points that get mined up, because even those that love mining everything to death still like to be able to afford ships to fly ;)
In terms of shooting mines then if you destroy them before they get a chance to explode on you then they don't get that chance and hence do not hurt you, it's not a bug as it was an intended change but you can feel free to request it gets changed back if you want, will take a little work but the framework to do it is already mostly there so shouldn't be too hard to change if people want to make clearing mines harder.
