As I recall, I had to disengage my turrets entirely, for them not to retaliate (I was griefed alot in stations in open play until I turned my turrets off). But I may be mistaken.

Background Galaxy Visual FX (dimming feature) - digital/unsmooth sudden trigger and in wrong order
As opposed to other Sun types, where the dimming/brightening of the background Galaxy smoothly reflects the influence of the brightness of the nearby sun, I found this working "rather digital" with Suns of type Brown Dwarf.
There, it just suddenly flips to a 2nd state.
Plus, just looking at it happen, it seems to actually work in reverse order.
I.e. when approaching this type of sun, the background actually gets brighter and you see more stars (they should fade instead due to approaching the strong light source).
Below Images were taken in very quick succession after passing the threshold while approaching the Sun :

Killed by a hacker, I would think.
And your evidence for this is?
Snap, and ticketed. Seems to be 1.1 B3, as yesterday I did sell some data (although I had some I could not sell due to being with 20LY of the station).
Just a guess based on the discussions going on all over the forums of people hacking their local clients so their small ships do whatever damage they want, and their shields as tough as they want. People are getting one shotted in ASPs.
I noticed similar behavior related to Windows "Sticky Keys" feature popping up a stupid window asking me if I wanted to turn it on constantly and minimizing the game. I had to disable it... but in my case there was a noticeable windows dialog that came up to clue me in. Not sure about minimizing with no other indicators as you describe.
Evidence ? He was innocent bystander on the pad nearby, he saw the whole thing, recorded it with dashboard camera and will send it to you shortly, sir.
where do you think you are demanding evidence ?
Reality is this - game is broken in that aspect, stations are run by incredibly stupid, psychopatic piece of code.
One can get permission to dock, wait for you inside, shoot volley of rockets, land quickly, pay fine 75cr or so and he is clean. You on the other hand get destroyed by rockets or your PDS tries to shoot at them, hits station, station kills you.
it happends all the time, hundreds and hundreds cases, I myself fell victim to that 3 times, you dont know what is happening, you at entrance to the station usually, you cant react or run.

The Beta 1.1 is aimed at fixing some of these issues (Station behaviour).
But I absolutely agree the game very soon needs to add a ton of balancing against killers doing nothing but destroying clean ships.
If I would take a measily 1M Credits, I could destroy 200 (!!) Player Ships - causing well over 500M Cr in damage - pay the fine every time and walk away as if nothing ever happened - I'm a perfectly Clean guy.
So insane of a condition, I don't even have words for this. Epic facepalm is the only thing that comes to mind.
And thinking of the Pilot's Federation....
Oh boy, those guys seem to be 100x more lax than even the worst Anarchic Pirate unfetterd Faction anywhere in the game. I'd rename it to "Chaos Club United. Motto : Kill what you see and we keep the count - but we don't care".

Something strange happened to NPC's, like they have suddenly lost their waypoints. Found a bunch of Sidewinder's today hanging out on the side of the station Shifnalport in Diso system. I revisited the place a few times after and they still were there. A few single occurences elsewhere (a single NPC ship in a freezing state like this, or three of them, but not that many) also were noted, but this one is just above them all.
That is not 'Hacked' - being hacked IMO would mean that someone has gotten into the server/game and changed its behaviour - this just describes a bug in the code...
You could play 'Solo' that would stop it from happening until it is fixed

I had that problem too but it stopped when I switched from "Fullscreen" to "borderless" mode. Additional benefit: I can now run vlc with "always on top" enabled and watch youtube-videos while playing/waiting. Also alt-tab doesn't fire the thrusters anymore it just switches tasks as it should be. Much nicer that way.
1. if (list of news articles > length of page && you then read an article) {
scrollbar on right, disappears for a few seconds whilst you're reading the article,but reappears after a few seconds. It is actually controlling the parent list of news articles on the screen 'before' the one you are reading, so does nothing when you try to use it to scroll the current article downwards. Scrollbar should only appear if article is longer than page, and be visible throughout.}
else
{
when you read news article, no scroll bar appears as parent list < length of page, so no bug noticed but, you can't reach the end of a long article unless you use the mouse scroll wheel.
}
2. Some official news articles guiding us 200 ly to participate in a conflict, don't have any when you get there; there's nothing positive here, wastes an hour where we could easily have stayed where we were, or gone somewhere else more interesting. This was reported at least a month ago, and even now, whomever at FD published them to the official web page and in-game news items, can't be to run a db query and confirm they are actually occurring.
3. Similar to above, missions relating to 'warzone's (isn't it two words btw?) don't give correct rep, so you can't get in to the spirit of saving the side you want to get behind, as you get shafted; breaks immersion, which is frustrating, when there is no other story in the game, yet(?).
4. When inside a space station, occasionally, if you watch a landing pad retract after a ship has launched, you can see it reveal what is underneath the pad i.e nothing at all, so you can literally see the space/stars outside the ship; suddenly, the station looks like a tin can with no depth.
