This is a Joke.

He did have passengers, you'll get blown up if they are wanted. Also there was no speed limit 1.5 years ago.

Yes, but don't miss the "instantly killed" part.. It's pretty important.. Since no stations instantly kills you. They'd have to shoot you first....

Instantly is relative when it comes to CMDR reports. Maybe OP just meant it didn't took long? Also station defenses got buffed with 2.2.

You might be right about this one.. But the way he explained it made it sound exactly like my bug.. I can only speak for myself.. I was literally instantly killed.. No shooting or warning. I was even scanned and cleared.. I entered the mailbox entrance, descended Down to my landing pad, and suddenly my cockpit was gone, hanging in the air with the words "Killed by the station".

It could well be that you are right too, maybe it's the same bug indeed. I honestly don't know it and just wanted to point out the possiblity.
 
No this is a joke.

We're so hard up at the moment that my wife had to sell her kidney so that we could afford the kids school uniform.

If things dont improve, Im going to have to think about getting rid of Sky sports.

this just happen to me 5 minutes ago was transporting passager and i got close to a station on auto pilot and bamm the station started fire at me for no reason lost 1 mill on ship com on elite this is a bug
 
OP can't provide a video
Some of us haven't got that option(hint:triple screen setups) , don't know about the OP

description is very cryptic
agreed 100%

haven't heard of a similar issue
I have

apparently stuff like this happens all the time to him but to no one else
You mean like the "SRV exploding for no reason driving in a straight line over smooth ground" ? "Exploding ships,and silent running was not engaged" ? , "Logging in and your ship has exploded" ? and a few others.

I think the fact that their are a few similar posts of people performing passenger missions for the first time and getting blown up by the station due to them not reading the mission hinting that some passengers might be wanted in some systems might be more a likely explanation than a "bug" you saw once 1.5 years ago.
 
Back in the day, there was a bug where if you tipped the mailslot with your landing gear it was kablooeey for you.

That thing is a monster. Are you sure you weren't scrapping along the toaster and just popped yourself like a balu... er... balloon?

"Usual Disappointment"

This line was the closing factor of this thread. If you are "usually" disappointed, why are you still playing?

Also, the mail-slot scans you.. It's how the pick-up on illegal cargo in your hold.

I was going to ask for more details, or suggest you put in a ticket. But.. I won't bother.

How come you don't know how the game works?
 
But even if a passenger is wanted it shouldn't be instakill. Wanted pilots dock all the time.

Too bad that the people with the most.... unusual issue never seem to have video or screenshots. Moving on, nothing to see here.

I thought it's typical Elite Dangerous? What's funny is that this stuff never happens to me (every time I boost inside the station wall I know that I am at fault). If it's that usual, maybe it's you and not the game?

Two very typical reactions of this community. I find it impossible to tell you how wrong you are, but i dare to say, my current line of work is software test and your attitude would make you a liability on this job. One of the most important things in my line of work is that if you notice "anything strange" it gets written down, no matter how obscure the effect is and how hard it is to reproduce. By collecting and evaluating similar "something strange" reports, we managed to eliminate a number of well hidden and rarely occuring glitches. So what the OP did was the correct thing to do. He encountered an effect which seemed to have been wrong, possibly a bug. He wrote down what he experienced and tried to eliminate some possible causes for the issue he experienced. He only made three mistakes:
.
1. While some Happenings in the games development trigger a sarcastic tone, it should be avoided when reporting a bug.
2. He has put it into the general discussion section, instead of filing a bug report. This might be a knowledge thing, but considering that the bug report section quite often seems to be the place were bug reports go to die, i can also somehow understand this decission.
3. He put it in a place where this community can reply on it. No further explanation needed on this.
