This does not add up. Unless there is a bug in the xbox version, you simply would not get a fine if you went less than 100. If that was really the case, it might be worth a ticket. However, I find it more likely that you went faster than you think.
An entire day of work and 2 mil cr gone

You forgot the irony tags - I hope.
This is one area where SJA really needs to work on the AI.
Yes the A.I. needs work
Comedy of errors.
I bet that all escalated in very quickly.
A collision under 100 should not result in lethal bumpage.
If you don't speed you don't get fined for collisions.
(I know you said you weren't speeding, but with all due respect Commander, you didn't even see the Hauler sitting right in front of you when you panic boosted... heh)
Then you blame him for being there.. lol
If you are absolutely 100% convinced you were not speeding, definitely submit a ticket and they will look into it.
Stick under the Station limit if you don't want to get caught up in ramming disputes.

I feel your pain, I lost three rebuys today totaling close to 9 mill. That's about 1/8th of my net worth, I had to downgrade my clipper so I don't lose it.

This is not necessarily the multiple reasons FD may have had.
If deterrence for player v player was the only consideration, then there would be no bounties on players killing clean NPCs. There would be no fines or bounties for shooting NPC security, there would be no player v NPC crime, which clearly there is.

yet you are wrong, his statement ...
... is totally correct, as was stated by frontier. speed limit was their fix in response to major outcries on the forum because of station rammers. i'm afraid it was you who were a bit clueless on this.
doesn't mean his conclusion has any logic, though: regardless of what you hit, it's you, the cmdr, who are expected to watch your speed. the point of the limit is slowing *everybody* down so ramming becomes impossible or very difficult. judging by the absence of whining as of late, it seems to have worked.

Indeed, it was actually one of the most fun things to do in the game. Elite: Fun cancelled.
there is no wrong side and you'll get a fine whenever you touch another shield or hull when at or over 100m/s. even if you don't notice it, the barest touch is enough - cha-chingggg. you can smash other ships into the station wall at your leisure though, if you're below 100m/s. Probably you'll get a bounty if you kill someone like this, would have to try
