Griefer at Altair, Solo Orbiter station, INSIDE the station griefing...

My solution would be to first to give my 5 million credit bounty to a squad mate. My next step would be to get his. And my last step would be just pay that bounty from the 5 millions I got from him at some anarchy station with a fed alignment. That is btw working as intended and not an exploit, we ask a dev about it.
If you still don´t want to do that, than you simply stop docking with stations that are not anarchy and try to change with your buddies to change all stations to anarchy. As super duper extra nice addition you can freely kill anyone at anarchy station, so they are the best stations around anyway. ;-)
Right. Because you're such a top-notch, genius level developer that you're able to think of ALL possible permutations of human actions.
You have never written a program beyond Hello World in your life, have you?
So my question is... Why they thought it would be a good idea to flag point defence damage as aggression?
There is not one scenario i can think of (even outside station) where it is good to have it this way....
Its only causing problems...
Everyone who played at least one session of a X-series title would have known
And i bet, David has played the X-Series

If you're playing by the rules then you're not griefing. If you're using an advantage that has been given to you _outside_ the rules then you would be griefing (though with those games it's usually called "cheating" and got you tarred and feathered). With Poker that would be a way to see your opponent's cards.
Without negative consequences to fear should I fail, success has no meaning.
I agree. A quick ship with a wise loadout, backed by good piloting, should give you a fair chance at escape.
The station should still revoke your docking permission and try to shoot you down if you are caught committing bounty worthy crimes in it's area of control.
You make it sound deliberate.
PDTs are weapons, they need to do damage to incoming ordinance to destroy it. Any damage inflicted on the station by any weapons on your ship turn the station hostile.
It's a simple oversight.
Yeah, you probably also have fun taking toys and candies from toddlers.
Playing outside the game's rules is cheating, not griefing. You can grief without cheating, and you can cheat without griefing.
do you reckon you guys can cut it out with the personal jibes? thats not gonna solve anything...
The devs are looking into it and the current work around is to manually turn off your PDT's when coming in to dock... I hope they put in a solution in the next update that stops the behaviour ...

Maybe not all people want the same thing out of an game.
I know it is an strange concept but not all people do want the same thing, and not all people want the same thing you want.
Elite was and still is "One comander, one ship" not "Goonsquat camping Solsysthem"
Go play in Eve, there it is encouraged concept of the game, but i guess you got waxed there one time too often for mouthing off.

Griefing is using the game's rules to do something they were not meant to allow. That's pretty much cheating in my book.
Dunno about you, but for me I get my challenge and do my acheiving out in the real world, doing real things. This can, and should, be stressful and difficult at times. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Games are for fun, and relaxation. If you need to get a sense of real challenge and acheivement from them, somethings going wrong.
On topic I think that the obvious answer, as mentioned earlier in the thread, is to rescind docking clearance as soon as weapons are fired in the station. There will always be people who need to annoy others to feel good, best way of dealing with it is closing up the loopholes and ignoring them.
You are meant to be able to be killed anywhere you aren't actually docked.
Which is why you should be allowed to open up on people in stations. There should just be very, VERY severe consequences for doing so. If someone is willing to accept those consequences, then best of luck to them.
And supercruise. Well you can die to a star/black hole but that hardly counts.
Games are for whatever reason you play them.
I could not possibly disagree more. I play games to do things that simply cannot be done in reality, that would be prohibitively risky/difficult to habitually engage in, or things that have prohibitive barriers to entry.
For example, I play a lot of tactical shooters. I have no desire to sell my body and soul to the military, spend 99% of my time doing boring-as-hell menial labor, and the remaining 1% of the time risking my life, for less pay than managing a fast food joint, while oppressing angry yolkels on the whims of a capitalist oligarchy. When I'm playing these games just want to shoot at, while trying to avoid getting shot by, virtual people, on my own schedule...no strings attached, but with the seeming of moment to moment risk (which I find exciting, and enjoyable, especially if I am dying less often than I'm killing).
But there are ways to pull you out of supercruise.

Just have the stations disable everybody's weapons problem solved.
Bigger problem created.
Don't try to use logic on negative nelly. I have never seen a single non-negative or non-derisive post from that one.
I completely agree.
Disable weapons and force landing gear to be deployed inside the station, that's the approach I would take.
Solves both problems of shooting and speeding inside stations.
