Dude, if you want excitement, by all means go hang out in a war-zone. But don't whine when you get shot at. Go ahead and provide entertainment for griefers, but don't complain when you do.
If you want to hang out with other CMDRs, strike up ah, wossname, "friendship" or two and flock together. For all that I am incredibly abrasive with twits on this forum I actually have a few friends that I sometimes go on little hunting and fishing expeditions with. I still generally don't waste my time by the watering-holes where the griefers hang out; they're someone else's problem - not mine. But if I did care, I'd get some friends in vent, and we'd all cobra up and do some coordinated hunting for sweet, sweet, salty griefer tears.

The game by design also allows you to log out in 15 seconds even in the middle of combat.
Just because the game allows it by design, that doesn't make it a good thing to do.

That'll work out great for you and your friends inside of a station.
Resolutely failing to get the point, I see.
If. You. Don't. Go. To. The. Stations. Where. Griefers. Hang. Out. They. Will. Get. Bored. Because. Waiting. Around. With. Nothing. To. Shoot. Is. Even. More. Boring. Than. Arguing. With. People. In. The. Forums. (But not much)
I replied because I care about my Anaconda.. if you have a problem with station exploits then why have Anaconda in the title when I can exploit the station with a Viper, cobra, or any other ship.. did you even bother to put in a ticket? or is this just another troll thread stating the obvious..
Or you could just make station weapons immune to chaff.
or as a previous poster said why not just have weapons automatically disabled as soon as you pass through the letterbox? Have the letterbox shield vapourise any missiles and block any lasers or bullets fired from outside the station.
I can't believe that 1300 years into the future the technology to achieve this would not be easily available.
That ends the problem and just leaves the internal lasers to deal with anyone ramming other players. Beef those up so that they can take down a fully shielded Anaconda using chaff in less time than the griefer can combat log.

+1. If You're making 12 million credits an hour, an 8 million credit insurance charge is a pretty big time investment. Chaff immunity could be exclusive to internal station weapons only. We can give stations missiles/plasma accelerators/rail guns while we're at it
beefing up station defences should be able too stop this type of tactic regardless of ship...
Then they will ambush you in supercruise. And if they see significant threat they drop in space and switch to solo.
Or block most of hostiles and gang kill the rest, then unblock others and kill them. Anyway, they will research possibilities to grief. They will always be a step ahead, because they thinking and "space truckers" mostly not. FD may implement the "PVP flag/PVE ghetto" for them, it will be only solution.
Or complains will be eternal.

So you're saying Ruin the game for ALL Annaconda captains just because a couple of annaconda users are immature?
You do realise these things ALWAYS happen in any game, had no one done this this wouldn't have been figured out.

We don't even need to postulate some "immunity" - it's inside the damned station, so they can just use good old optical tracking. Unless your ship can become invisible you will be hit, no matter what.
If you damage someone's hull with your weapons inside a station your account is deactivated for a week. They could even have an in game prison where you try to log in and all you find is a really slippery bar of soap.
boom.
boom.
I fail to see how anything I have suggested ruins the game for Anaconda pilots in general.
This thread is hilarious.
Logic has completely disappeared.
No, The solution is simple.
MAKE INTERNAL DEFENCE BYPASS CHAFF. There that SOLVES THE PROBLEM, Not create more.

Your idea doesn't address the issue at hand, The actual reason why you're coming up with this idea can be solved so much more simpler there doesn't need to be so much useless clutter to prevent something so easy to fix.

Even with the chaff fixed I imagine in-station ramming would still be an option, but there are a million ways to solve that too, hopefully more of which have already been discussed in dev meetings than in forum meetings. Off the top of my head, they could transmit a few simple rules upon approaching the station, and then for example exceeding an arbitrary in-station speed limit could cause some Future Science Magic to remotely cut your ship's power, or force thrusters to decrease speed. I assume the basic design allows for these disgustingly cheap tactics because they didn't expect people to be quite so easily amused.
It is offensive to call people idiots.
If you have ground your way up to an Anaconda in the short time the game has been online, you have earned to do as you please.
