I am about to file a complaint with MindArk regarding this bug... But my friend and I both were in the contaminated zone mining... FORTUNATELY I was able to tp chip out of there just as incoming rockets were detonating on my position. But my friend was not so lucky.
See, when we flew in, the pvp indicator said we were in a PVP zone, and was Red... When we got out of the vehicles, the indicators shown yellow, that we were near a PVP zone. We couldn't even shoot each other.
That's when some people landed and attempted to rob us... They were successful but we weren't able to fight back.
It doesn't matter WHAT the indicator says. If you know you are in a PVP zone, treat it like a PVP zone. Just because the indicator is green or yellow don't mean a thing! And if you experience this kind of a glitch be sure to report it, the more reports they get the more likely they are to patch and fix it. Though it is unclear if the issue was addressed in this last update, I haven't tried since the last patch. But in any case, it would seem not everyone is "bugged" and it may just depend on what server you are logged in on, who knows.
Be safe, and good luck to ye.

UPDATE: What You Should Know About Interplanetary Travel
The Universe has grown a LOT in the last year with the advent of Arkadia, Rocktropia, and Next Island and it's associated areas that serve to add onto the Entropia Universe. However, some urgently important issues need to be stressed now that the travel has changed so much with the creation of interactive space.
The grass can certainly be greener on the otherside. I had planned to take my 500 ped mining run to F.O.M.A. (Which I still try to refer to as CND, just because I have tons more respect for Neverdie than I do for Foma, and to me it was always CND, and probably always will be, so forgive me if I use CND interchangeably with F.O.M.A.) which I decided not to and stayed on Calypso because there is no one way teleport from the asteroid to Calypso any more. Which means...
You either have to find a trader that will take the risk to buy your ores, and because they are risking getting looted by pirates in space, they will probably pay you smaller amounts than trader or auction on Calypso will. Or, you trade terminal your ores if they are under a certain markup. Not very pleasant situation.
It is important to note that everyone going into space, everything on your materials tab and resources tab, generally speaking, can be looted if you are killed in space by pirates. Your best bet, is to try to book passage on a mothership. Your next best bet, is to find someone with a craft fast enough to outrun most pirates, but it will probably cost you.
I have heard especially after the last update, the pirate activity has picked up immensely in space. So best bet, A. Dont take anything valuable with you that can be looted. B. Go with someone extremely well armed, and worst case hopefully you can defeat the pirates.
I connect to EU on dialup. My lag isn't bad much at all normally. But in space, I can't run the risk. I would get killed before I could even try to defend myself. So make sure you have a fast connection if you attempt to fly yourself. If someone else flying you, don't worry about it, it in their hands.
If you must travel and try to haul your cargo, take the most indirect routes to your destination as possible. I can't be any more specific than this or I risk letting everyone know the strategy I use to stay safe. But even if you dont have anything to lose from being looted, you still will lose TT value on your vehicle from taking damage from another player in PVP.
Plan ahead, talk to people who frequently travel through space, get every possible bit of advice you can... And you should do fine. Good luck, and I wish everyone an ATH, becuase if I can't get one, you guys might as well!

Contaminated Zones and what you should know.
I know the contaminated zones have changed a bit recently... But they are an important place in the game. I am no expert but I can sure point you the right way and give you some info to get you started.
The contaminated zones are large areas of toxic ground that will kill you if you don't buy and administer to yourself the anti-toxic shot from the trade terminal which costs a bit over 5 peds I believe.
Please note: if a human player kills you in the contaminated zone your stackables excluding ammo bombs and mind essence will be stolen from you by the player that killed you. You will also have to buy another shot.
So you might ask why one would want to risk going in there in the first place? It is because where the risks are greater the rewards are too. Rarer ores... Bigger deposits... There are also mobs found only in the CZ such as the Attackers... You can either arm yourself in the hopes of killing some lucky but unfortunate person and obtaining their hard won loot... Or sneak in and find the much larger than average finds... Many screenies I have seen of towers are definitely in the contaminated zone.
Advice:
Empty your inventory into the storage before going into the cz.
Be prepared to escape if you find good stuff... Tp chip helps or if you must carry a rocket launcher to kill yourself with if escape will be impossible. This makes you keep your loot... Beware though if you hoffed or globaled they might camp at your claim waiting for you to return.
The storage of your vehicle is not lootable If you are killed as long as it is not in your inventory.
Only enter far away from prying eyes and be paranoid. Use a scope to look for other people before crossing into the zone.
Do not let anyone know your position or destination. Even friends could turn on you if you aren't careful.
If you global on attackers or mulmun... Understand that the ubers will then know where you are and be out to rob you! So... Get your global and get out!
On the average I have better luck in the cz and so far only have been robbed twice I think. Be cautious and you should do fine.
Try to have allies you can trust if you DO need backup should you tower in the zone.
Do not at any point think you can kill the ubers in the zones... You would have to be ridiculously armed and armored. Not saying it's impossible but if you are level 20 laser or blp, forget it :)
So far the main rare ore I find in the cz is Himi.
