Mining lasers make ships drop resources in pvp even when resource drops are disabled.

Reposting this to bugs as it was suggested in previous publications and is still existing.

Mining lasers always drop resources from destroyed blocks, which puts additional load on players, apart from not looking really good.

There is an option to disable drops, but it doesn't work for mining lasers, atleast in overclocked variant.

I always thought this was intended

its also pretty funny

Most annoying in long lasting domination, or arena battles, since it creates big clouds of resources

[copper shadow]

Wait really? Mining lasers harvesting resources from enemy ships sounds useful for helping save on repair costs in Domination!

But there is a separate option to make ships drop loot, and otherwise it just makes everybody lag

Dropped resources shouldn’t cause to much lag to my knowledge.
I believe they do so you can still mine asteroids or salvage ships.

Mine asteroids in domination? It's not survival, people spam ships instead of recycling, nobody will collect loot which sets layer by layer, even covering ship models

Also death ring in elimination usually doesn't let you have time to build
