Attacking pirate base and me and my wingmen randomly explode
Ok, I got bored and thought it would be fun to try to take out a Pirate base with my wingmen the other day. Well, we start attacking and after a long time I hear an explosion and one of my wingmen is gone, then a minute later another. I went back to a save point and did it again keeping my eyes peeled for incoming fighters, but there were none and they still exploded. I gave up. Today I have a better ship with more Wingmen so I thought I'd try again, and this time MY ship randomly blows up after shooting at the Pirate ship for a few minutes....is there some magical invisible missile or something that they have?

It takes several to take out an M3 with 75MJ shielding. They're only really dangerous to M4's and M5's (and Mamba Raiders). If mrsack is flying an M4 or smaller, then yes, he's probably running afoul of SQUASH mines.R.Bootneck wrote:They could have been running foul of Squash mines.
Nasty little blighters when in sector, don't show up on sector map unless you scan for them using the "target nearest enemy" in you personal ship to scan for them ... make short work of anything smaller than an M6
Have you been using Hammerheads/Unknown Objects types of missiles? Or is there a pirate fighter somewhere in the sector that could have fired one at you? They have a blast radius of over a km, and if you fire one too close to a target, you'll die instantly.is there some magical invisible missile or something that they have?
Assuming X3 here.
