[3.10HF1+SV] "Troublesome Mines" Mission Considers Other Stuff As "Mines"

[Alm888]

Just wanted to point out that the SCA "Troublesome Mines" mission is bugged: it considered other property as "mines" twice already (first a ship and later a station!) in addition to genuine mines.

I destroyed the real mines, but the last "mine" remains as I did not want to anger owning faction by shooting ships/stations. Everyone is free to try it and see whether the mission will be counted as completed or not, but I have a feeling there is a sorting error in the selector algorithm during the mission initialization and everything close by to the region gets targeted.

That sounds like this issue.

[Alm888]

Yes, it is.
This proves the problem being SCA-specific.
And that pretty much nearly everything can be selected as a target (ship/station/build storage).

Apart from that, I believe I had completed some SCA mine removal missions in 2.60HF2 and everything was OK back then. So, a 3.00+ bug?

Issue still exists today it seems.
I accpeted the Q (for a new paint mod I didn't have yet) thinking that a station hack and destroying a few mines would not damage my rep with the faction in question.
Turns out the final "mine" it wants destroyed is actually a station.
Not gonna blow my rep with argon. Would not have accepted this mission if I knew that beforehand.
Abort mission.

Please don't dig up 3 year old threads about old versions of the game. Similar symptoms don't necessarily have the same cause, and information in old threads is almost always out of date anyway.

If you want to report an issue, read the "Please read this before posting!" sticky thread at the top of the forum and provide all the information requested there. In the case of mission issues, a savegame is almost always going to be needed, so that someone can see exactly what's going on in your specific case. Instructions on how to do so are also provided in the sticky thread at the top of the forum.
