I really want one of these class 10 Multicannons the stations have to instant gib any ship.
In recent patches (since 1.3?), even NPC T9s follow the green/red convention. Last night I exited the slot in my Anaconda with an entering NPC T9 and had no problems. IMO, following the green/red lights is a good idea even in large ships.
Hits the nail on the head. They should lump all these into one megathread, the "I never read the change notes about speeding and collisions" thread.
Wait... Buy it back? I thought you bought it back for 2M?
I did then stripped it down an sold it till I can afford it again I can now but only if discounted. Now explain because I'm getting angry every one saying they can get it discounted at newcomb but it doesn't apply to me I guess.
If you are really upset about the speed limit, especially when docking, install a Docking Computer. It will boost at maximum speed, and always get you landed safely. For whatever reason SJA comes up with, once under the DC control the speed limit is ignored. Of course you also have the added bonus that if anything does happen to your ship whilst under the DC control, it is definitely a bug and you will probably get reimburst.
Speeding doesn't kill people, stations kill people
Argh - I just had this exact same thing happen to me. 7Mil credits insurance loss.
Coming in for a port landing in an Anaconda... some small sidey comes out of nowhere and bounces off the shields and explodes (it was a NPC)... like a bug hit or something... *fine* given, station goes hostile and rips through my shields and hull in about 3 seconds. That must qualify for the fastest traffic violation investigation and penalty given.
Wow. ED is dangerous... to fly dangerous.
Now, I'm going to be flying like a little ole grannie (wait a sec, some of those are dangerous too).
I do like flying in and out of the mailslot at high speed... that's what shields were made for.
It is quite interesting that, as the Devs respond to one issue, they create another... hmm.... just like real life. I'm not blaming anyone (I have no one to blame except myself... written 100 times) but it is frustrating to have happen.
For the first time, I'll be looking at docking computers...

I have not had 1 single incident with the station blowing me up since the release of 1.3 due to running into an NPC. Make sure you enter and exit green side and watch the radar as well as the visual outside the canopy. You can still fly in and out +100 if you are careful and mindful. Regardless of how or why it happens, IMO, if a station blows you up for ram killing an NPC, it's your own fault.
So *that's* what the "speeding" warning means. Harrah for forums to teach me this, because the game doesn't.
I thought real life wouldve taught you what speeding means... Speeding means that any accidents with you involved would have at least partial responsibility fall on you even if you were the one who got hit.
Once upon time in a station i buy imperial slaves to trade when a landing off the platform my cat press the empty cargo botom and i whatch with panic all that slave humans bean expulse out of my ship inside the station that put me some several fines. i lost 6m in two minutes.
ok, LOL
this button is truly deadly. Fdevs had a laugh when they were putting it there probably.
Just remap it in options to nothing.

I also fly Python but it's shields are strong unless you run with substandard or no shields. I found that it doesn't take long to get away from the station. What shield configuration do you use on your Python?
Same here. When I had my python I boosted in and out all the time. A fine was just part of business expenses if I wasn't fast enough to dodge.
