From personal experience I can 100% tell you this is NOT a kamikaze maneuver. Happened to me twice. The second time, I actually let the Autopilot continue, and it was making room for the type-9 coming in above me. As soon as the Type-9 hit the mail slot, the ship reoriented and docked.

I'm not saying I LIKE it, it's similar to "waiting in queue", but it has a logical purpose apparently.

It was kamikaze. There were no others ships around. In the context you mention you could justify it happening. In the context I have seen it happen, it's just dodgy and suicidal. Some times it adds to the fun, but really this is technology in 3302, seeing your spaceship rut against the spacestation like a horny moose is just...ridiculous.

Interesting to note that in the last five minutes:

- attacked by pirate NPC demanding cargo when no cargo and not doing mission
- two NPC clippers blown up in space station for trying to do the lambda or whatever when trying to take off and getting stuck, to much tragicomic effect
- my autopilot has turned kamikaze and now wants me to headbutt just below the mailslot (multiple occasions since update)

These bugs are nothing new, yet continue to be bugs. Like many of the old bugs. Just saying.

My DC boosted my Python into the wall just below the slot yesterday pre 2.2.01, interesting I thought to myself as I reversed out of the mire.

My issue is that the punishment is very clearly OTT

As are some of the fanatical responses in this thread.

It's a new patch commanders, there's going to be issues (coding & user), so cut this pilot some slack :rolleyes:

No I would not. Now it's tricky because when you provided the log to say it happened within 1 second, that wasn't actually your log was it? However if we extrapolate that your encounter was the same, then you can clearly see in the log that they were denied docking for being hostile and that lethal response has been authorised.

Not quite.

Police scan says "be on your way" and then immediately the station goes hostile and kills him in 1 second.

That to me suggests that the police scan was a warrant scan (legal status) not a cargo scan. If so, how did the station know he was carrying illegal cargo ? If the station changed it's mind as a result of said scan then the police should have said no.

Either way, to me, it reads as a bug .. even if it's not it's terrible game play - 1 second from thinking you're OK to destroyed .. such fun ! :rolleyes:

How the hell is silent running going to help disguise a space coach?

Well I don't really want to argue this anymore. Thanks to the devs for pushing this update so quickly and responding to the bug reports so quickly; I look forward to what the future has in store.

It does, smuggled a lot with my T9, shipsize doesn't matter. If you can't do it then don't take missions that require it, stick to the legal stuff. Hauling illegal goods or wanted passangers is not a bug, that mechanic sure should keep staying in the game for people who like doing it.

Smugling is fun! Now, if only the fines would become bounties after a while it would be a lot more valuable to get safely in ports with contraband.

Eh, why? oh well hopefully there will be less complaints now.
Just feels like a "this is why we can't have nice things" situation, but at least if timing stays the same I suppose it is fine enough, if it is entirely a fdev choice then it is fine, but personally I get a bit worried at such changes, as loud minorities have ruined other games for the majority before, don't want to see that happen with Elite.

Imagine if someone wasn't familiar with ED. What on earth would all that sound like to them? Latvian. Unless they were Latvian, in case it would sound like...Lithuanian.

Who is this Disney Princess? Is she like the Druish Princess? :D

I read Psychicjedi's log in the linked thread.

First the police ship scans him and says he's clean.

Then immediately afterward he is tagged with the crime of transporting a Wanted passenger.

Then immediately afterward he is attacked and destroyed within the space of two seconds.

Maybe transporting Wanted passengers is a bounty crime - and not a fine crime like transporting illicit cargo - by design. Maybe an unavoidable lethal response to bounty crimes is by also design.

Is it also by design that the police scan you, say you're clean then change their minds?
