    Here's on for you all if mines detonate when they disappear and can potentially cause massive dmg to anyone nearby. Shouldn't repair boxs do the same to friendlys in range? I've been so close to grabbing a needed boost only for them to disappear right in front of me.

    If you are close enough to a mine to suffer damage you are close enough to set it off. There will never be a situation where you are taking damage from mines detonating as they expire that you wouldn't have taken anyway.

    I think you're missing the point. Repair boxes already have a radius, so if you get close enough you will collect them.

    It seems like you are asking for the repair box radius to be increased when it disappears.

    For reference the mine radius is 2, and the box is 1.

    Actually mine trigger radius is slightly smaller than their blast radius. Otherwise it would be pretty much impossible to kill multiple ships with one explosion as the mine would explode immediately when the first ship enters it's area.

    Ok, OP I stand corrected.

    However even as a fixer I don't agree that repair boxes should explode. I see the disappearing as the item sinking rather then having a timer explosion.
