Jumped into a new system today, and a ship hailed me. They wanted me to get the data from a satellite. Only problem was that the satellite was surrounded by mines - the explosive sort, not the asteroid mining sort. And I wasn’t allowed to just shoot the mines because any explosion would destroy the data.
I coasted in to about 600m and then, inevitably, BOOM! There was a groan from the other ship, and they jumped out.
Anyone got a better way to solve this than just “git gud”? The mines are tiny and it’s hard to see where they are in relation to the ship, especially with a Guardian with the tall fins.
I got through without any problems by approaching it from the side. Did it first try, but I recommend going slowly and quicksaving often
