While poking about in Omega-7 I decided to shoot some rocks in the southernmost mining node in the Furstenfelde Cloud. I was in a Salvage Frigate, my cargo hold was full, and I shot a rock with gunboat turrets.
I got a neat surprise; a bright explosion, a "Possible cheating (loot)" message and a trip back to Dublin.
Might be worth looking into. I'll post screens if requested.
Same thing happened to me in pennsylvania yesterday, I had no cargo though and was in a slave liner, surveying for mining spots - shot a few rocks where platinum is supposed to drop, and kaboom, back at my last dock point... luckily in the same system.
Couldnt reproduce the effect though, dusty sat there and watched me try to blow myself up again by shooting rocks and there was nothing. Seems to be a random occurence.
