Yes, it's a problem. And its a problem caused by "players" like you. It's unfortunate that FD chose this solution when the obviously better one would be to ban you and your friend from playing in open.

I agree completely.
So basically, every time someone comes anywhere near you when docking at a busy station you're supposed to just boost away like a frightened deer even though nine times out of ten that person is simply someone else trying to get in and dock? Or are you possessed of some magical way of knowing the intentions of that blip on your scanner?
Don't argue with these kinds of people, don't try to fight them. Just ignore them. All they are trying to do is get a rise out of people and annoy as many as possible.
I don't know how this would end up..maybe have an extended loitering free zone infront of the letterbox, just like the docking pads have. I know the 'rammer's' could just keep coming back but that would keep on disrupting their game.

I fail to see how it's worse, when it seems to be a very big problem for a lot of players. Maybe just remove it near stations, and leave it elsewhere....
I think the only solution would be to not allow docking at that station if they are fined for the ramming more than 5 times, because the amount of the fine won't make much difference nor will the amount of times they die from ramming people
-
Deny docking permission if they receive more than 5 ramming fines in the space of 24 hours, banned from that station for life, there are only a handful of popular stations and they won't have anywhere to go after that to ram
Stupid idea. Just a good fine, like a million per kill max. Would do the trick. They would farm 2 hours to get 3-4 kills, thats enough. No bounty whatever. Just a lifetime fine, no crime. I can live with it.

Its worse than anything. Now you cant even collide with people by accident, you get an instant wanted tag and will die because the station needs max 10sec to kill anything in this game. And this is stupid.
How would that have any effect at all?
-
I have just I unfriended someone I play with because they tried out an exploit with bounties and were able to earn around 15 million an hour and they tried to get me in on it
-
No fine at all will effect them doing this as they admitted they used this to get money, 1 million is nothing to some people with A grade anacondas
-
And with the new system you only get a bounty if you hit someone while travelling at over 100, banning them from the station if they hit people often is the only way they won't be able to ram people any more

Well the bounty system can be exploited too - just get the cheapest ship that can travel to the system with your bounty and let the authority scan and kill you > done.
The fine will have an effect - people who dont use exploits, need some time to get the money back. And if they exploit something (and no, ramming is not an exploit right now, its a part of the gameplay - this is why they try a speed limit and dont remove it completly) - they will be banned for using exploits. Easy and and simple way to stop them. And even if they got 1kkk - they will spend iz on something else before they ram so many people down.
I expect the PVP aspect to grow and become a major part of the open world, thats what i want here and the game can provide it if the developer dont ruin the gameplay.

Give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Zaonce, people try to rush in and out and a lot of it is because of the people that gave the area a bad name because of ramming. It seems to me if you spend too much time goofing around, you leave yourself open to this kind of abuse. therefore people rush so they can hopefully avoid being messed with as a preventative measure.
I know I hit 3 people yesterday and it wasn't on purpose and apologized after the fact. One was a vulture coming in while I was on my way out, I was in motion and trying to be a little speedy because a commander had his hardpoints deployed outside the station. The vulture come up over the lip of the letterbox from below and there was nothing I could do because there is not a whole lot of wiggle room for an Imperial Clipper in the slot. Later that night I hit two people on my way in to the station because it was late (early?) 3 AM and I was tired and in a rush. Not intentional, but it still happened as there were two on the way out back to back and I was on my way in. An Asp and a Lakon 6 I believe. It was an accident but I honestly can't say if they believe that or not and one of the Commanders put in local chat "Cmon". I really felt bad but that didn't help them any
What I worry about is people who may have a legitimate oopsie and getting reported because of all the paranoia that these d-bags are causing......
P.S. If any of the commanders I collided with see this I do want to say I am truly sorry and if you had significant damage and were set back send me a private message and I will do my best to make amends.

Guy in a sidewinder tried ramming me at a station a few days ago, so i lit him up with my 2 C3 Beam Lasers, killed him in a few seconds. Then his friend (also in a sidewinder) tried to do the same, he didn't survive for long either, they kept respawning and tried again and again... and again... They must have gotten pretty annoyed about 45 - 60 minutes later because they gave up and called me some bad names haha. so i responded by continually killing them when they tried to leave the station.
i racked up quite a fine but it was worth it haha
