I think it's a feature. To not allow civillians work with/wonder around military equipment.

But they don't ignore doctor/rsr ID's, only if the ID's are in the PDA.Jeser wrote:I think it's a feature. To not allow civillians work with/wonder around military equipment.

Re: Mines ignore IDs in PDA
It's just a not-so-good code, we had same problem with turrets at some point.
Nope, turrets and PDA were fixed about a year ago. And smartguns don't check IDs.Turrets and smartguns also ignore them.

I've accidently shot an MT with a smartgun before, someone told me it was because he had a PDA instead of an ID.Neray wrote:It's just a not-so-good code, we had same problem with turrets at some point.

Re: Mines ignore IDs in PDA
It's a limitation as of right now, not really a bug. We're aware of it. When we have proper IFF tagging, this will be changed.
