On version 1.18.17 I can't take any damage from secondaries; either mine or the robots'. They still seem to damage the robots although it looks like the damage might be reduced... for example I fired an earthshaker into a room with a fox attack bot, a spider right next to him, and a bunch of mine layers dancing around desperately, and only the fox (which was hit dead-on with the shaker) died.
This lack of damage-doing seems to apply to the red mines that float around in some levels as well and to the gauss cannon.
Attached my pilot files in case that helps.
Visibility checking over-optimized ... ^_^
