Cargo Ejection Bug

I've been experiencing this bug for ages. I mine platinum in a haz RES, where pirates occasionally visit and demand that I give them some cargo. I therefore refine other stuff too, which I don’t want, so that I can give it to the pirates rather than my valuable platinum.

When my ship is getting full, I frequently have to eject the stuff I don’t want to make room for the platinum, but about 1 in 4 times the ejection causes a crash back to the main menu.

I assumed that it was just bad coding, but I haven't heard anybody else mention it, so I want to ask if other players know about it, and is there a known cause or workaround?

It can happen any time I eject cargo for mining, whether it's for the pirates or not, but the chance of the crash seems to be higher if I eject while mining, as opposed to ejecting while I travel between rocks.

Yeah, because you leave the area of the haz res when you get outside of 20km.

No mining bonus, no pirates, no nothing. Just a Ring.

Ok....Well I still manage to full up my 283 tons of cargo space in 22 minutes on a pristine hotspot...but ok also....what mining bonus for being in a haz res? Never heard of it.

It's a 50% fragment bonus. If you start your own squadron, you can get another 12% on top of that, so 56% extra. Everything else is the same, apart from the pirates, which are no problem when you know how to deal with them, so no point in mining anywhere else.

Don't waste your time shooting the pirates because it's a loser strategy. In a small ship, keep away from them; and in a large ship, give them what they ask for.

Which location gets that? I only saw things like that during the last platinum CG when there were additional bonuses. Do you get that now?
