Im having an issue with a quest.. Im suppose to deploy a mine in 3 locations But seem to be coming across a bug or somthing, when i deploy the first mine (Located Directly next to a station, like 2meters from it) Once the Mine is deployed i move straight up to avoid hitting it, but no matter the direction i move, even tried boosting away from it once deployed, But no matter what i do the mine instantly blows the moment i move severly damaging my ship and requiring me to place another mine... Im caught in a endless loop trying to place a mine only for it to blow the moment i move AWAY from it.. Anyone else with this issue??
From what i can see could be 2 possibilities.. Either the Traffic is constently setting it off or the players proximity is Either way this mission cant be completed so close to a station.. Trying for a 4th time im noticing traffic is flying straight through the deployed location, has to be the traffic setting it off right?

i haven't done that mission yet, but saw this post by Thunderskull on the Egosoft forums:

"I eventually figured out that you didn't have to drop the mine at the exact spot it tells you. I just got a good 1km from the station and circled it while dropping mines every 2 seconds. Dropped 12, was done and sped away making sure not to go back towards where I laid the mines.

If you go directly to the waypoint and drop a mine, you will die. If you try and drop all 12 in one spot, you will die."

ymmv.
