This is a Joke.

Well, you have to make a guess as to what happened.

1) The OP experienced a bug. There is no evidence of it, nor does it seem to happen to many other people.
2) The OP messed up like many others did, including me (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/300498-Warning-for-Beliuga-owners!!).

One of these options would be very rare, the other is very common. There is no evidence of the rare thing, and lots of evidence for the common thing. The ranting nature of the OP does make me lean a bit more towards user error than rare bug. Your appraisal could be different ofcourse, and if he really cared he could just drop a ticket rather than throw a passive-aggresive tantrum on the forums.

When all things are considered, it is usually the simple option that ends up being true?

So you did the overheat thing did you?

urg, sorry, wrong link: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/300689-Beware-of-wanted-passengers

Hope this makes more sense. When lots of people report being a 'victim' of this because they didnt understand it, and the OP here reports the exact same thing on his first mission but claims this one was a very rare bug that just looks like a very common mistake its not unreasonable to be somewhat skeptical. :)
 
You are still wrong, re-read again.

Taking this whole Forum-warrior thing to private messages. This thread primarily should be about a problem and possible bug.

Except there is a small additional detail in the OP: he was -aware- of the issue the link refers to. He checked and made sure that none of his passengers was reported to be wanted. Despite that, he was destroyed. So we might be looking at an additional bug here, either that the "wanted" was not displayed correctly or the check for wanted passengers somehow messed up.
.
Anyway, 2.2 is one day old, i would expect us to still find a number of bugs in the next weeks. I just find it ridiculous that a number of people here rather believe that somebody reporting a problem is did wrong than even considering that a patch with so huge patch notes (over 16k words, or 30 pages when printed) might have some bugs...

I did point that out, but it has been missed before.

And I can't believe people round here can't take it when a perfectly reasonable suggestion is made.

Did you turn it off and on again?

Another pilot who reported that he checked that he had no criminals on board, but still experienced the same effect. But hey, for some people this won't ever happen, just like SRVs never randomly exploded, etc. (The game has a history of fixed bugs which a very vocal part of the forum population denied to exist till the developers announced that they found the bugs and corrected them. )

One of my 2 SRVs magically exploded on the way to Beagle Point.
I magically reappeared when I was (finally) within 100LY of the bubble.
Go figure.
 
There is a typical English country park. Amongst all of the various lovely things there, there is a beautiful statue of a young couple. This statue has been there for ages, through everything that Nature has thrown at it (and I mean everything). One day a wizard is passing through, sees this statue, and decides to try something different. When the smoke had cleared, and the dust had settled, there was this young couple, standing there, looking bewildered and wondering what just happened.

"I have managed to bring you to life", says the wizard, "but the spell will only last for half an hour. When it wears off you will be back on your plinth, exactly as you were before, and nobody will be any the wiser. However, for this half hour you are completely human, and can do anything you like".

They look at each other. "Shall we?". "Do you want to?". "I want to". They nip off behind the nearest bushes, and there are some interesting noises, giggles and chuckles. After about 10/15 minutes they come back out, looking hot, flushed, and happy. The wizard says "You have only used half the time. You can do anything else".

They look at each other again. "Shall we do it again?" he says. She replies "Yes, but this time can you hold down the pigeon while I defecate on it!?!".

? Are you really that daft?
You not serious are you? Are you seriously trying to say that anyone with an issue ever must have their games recorded at all times just to satisfy that one split second

Ad hominem? That is all that you can bring to the table? The more "unusual" the issue is, the more important is some evidence. No evidence and it did not happen or at least remains doubtful. Recording your game is easy, as I pointed out. For any MMO, it should be standard practice.

No, it's called incredulity at your stance on this with a big dose of disbelief someone can think this way as he doesn't find it normal. In fact, he finds it highly abnormal I would imagine and I would agree with him.

Can you explain why we need such a strong stance on this please? The OP detailed his actions and the thread should have then ran in the direction of trying to work it out. Instead, we got the usual acidic responses that permeate almost every thread around here.
 
Okay people are saying there is a lack of clarity on the situation.

I was sitting in the station. I loaded up on passengers to multiple locations. None were wanted, and neither was i wanted myself.

Theres was no reason to be concerned of anything. I launched my baluga and proceeded to the mailslot. As passing through the mailslot i saw the Police chatter in the top left saying "Engaging hostile, deploying weapons"

As i exited the mailslot, completely nothing happened. I make my way for about 3 seconds longer and my ship goes from 100% to 0% hull instantly. There was no number in between that. My shields also vanished.

Normally one would see progress of their hull taking some damage before it gets destroyed, but it went from full shields to 0 hull instantaneously.

There was no scanning on my ship by the police either. I repeat i did not see the "ship scan detected" or whatever it normally says.

What was your speed? Since the Beluga is quite large I guess you've been flying below 100. Do you remember if you retracted the landing gear? I remember a bug where clipping the landing gear would lead to instant destruction.
 
Stations don't kill you for no reason. You probably splattered an NPC going out, or maybe had a dormant bounty or something in the system. Or maybe you made an error, and one of your passengers was illegal.
So if one passenger is illegal they'll destroy the ship with all the other legal passengers?    ? Please tell me that's not the case or I'm never going to bother with doing passenger runs.

Why not? There are escape pods onboard. Also it is your choice to mix criminals with civilians.

That is indeed the case. Not only that, if tourists want to go to the same destination, you still have to take them in the right order, so you end up backtracking over areas twice. The fun suck is real
