Ah, mister, a clear case of "bug stuck to camera drone lens", if I ever saw one... just bump two of your camera drones together to squish it, or just replace the camera drone.

Quite usual space Cockroach. Oh and it's there because it can. Laughing

Interesting: forum alters Cockroach written all in small letters to begin with a capital.

The system you are looking for is Munory. No point in blacking it out top let if you don't block out the stargate names in the overview. Not that anyone cares.

Damn, that's one big Cockroach.

I think they are developer easter eggs. You have to have the camera either on the right angle or looking at the right object to see them.

One of the lvl 1 rogue drone missions does the same thing, and in one of the minmatar epic arc missions (I think?), if you tilt the camera to the right angle a weird amarrian robot statue at least 500km tall blinks into existance and cups the mission area in the palm of its hand.

I almost shat my pants when that one happened.

You do realise that you have hidden the system name right?
But... have left the stargate names in the overview not covered.

Eve interlect is seriously at an all time low!

Mining the asteroid triggers the rogue drone spawns in this mission. You can also see one of these models attached to a rogue drone in "Alluring Emanations".

Entirely speculation, but I suspect this model is an artefact of one of the earlier revisions of EVE Online's mission trigger system. The "bug" is attached to a particular object (in this case, the mercium asteroid, in Alluring Emanations it's attached to a drone). When an action is taken against the thing the bug is "guarding", the bug spawns the appropriate response. In this mission, it's a small group of rogue drones, in Alluring Emanations it's a great swarm of drones.

There's a lot of technical debt in this game, and I suspect this primitive version of a mission trigger is an example of something that will keep some poor sucker occupied for a few weeks back in Reykjavik.

Of course I didn't get the job, so I wish the incumbent all the best :)

If we brought some morality into this game we wouldn't be having these problems! Promiscuous machines!! What's next, drones wanting equal pay???
