I think it would be enough to ban them to Solo. They would probably stop playing anyway but they couldn't complain about it.

oh sure.... sorry yeah i didnt mean close their account fully...... but ban their account (not cmdr) to solo, that way if they want to go back into open at least they need to support the game some more
I wouldn't call it combat logging since there was no combat. One player was taking advantage of an exploit, and from what I have read, FDev is against the spirit of this type of behavior. Logging out in this scenario is, in my opinion, the logical and justifiable course of action.
Please, let's try to not discuss if it was combat logging. It was just a stupid joke and I already regret it...
Lame stuff from the FdL. As the FdL doesnt have the guts to open fire its not combat, so just log out and land in solo if you want. At some point you dont need to be considerate any more.

I love this idea actually. Its effectively a time out for bad behavior. Go to your room and think about what you have done!
My thoughts as well.
Was a quick edit, removed the original line because I didnt want to make Babelfisch sad.
It actually exists, and is called 'shadowban'. You'll only be instanced with other people being shadowbanned.
The system we have is to stop suicide sidewinders have a chance to get you killed by them dying on you, and you getting a bounty, but only while you are under 100m/s.
Sadly now they have found a way to circumvent this.
However, I would say, if you boost once after supercruise (need to lined with the slot), and then use a docking computer, you can be over the limit and not get fined (because that then becomes the stations fault, as they are at that time in control of your ship), and the docking computer actually tries to avoid rams, and can dupe players into letting the ship dock, it's actually rather funny.
'Master PvPers', beaten by a docking computer. Now that's embarrassment they won't be able to deal with

I think you can't influence the BGS as well.

Problem is (IIRC) as soon as someone shoots you the docking computer stops working and you regain (does this word exist?) control of your ship. If a second person rams you in this moment you will be punished for it.
If you are clean, and the perp shoots you, they get tagged as Wanted by the station. Losing the DC at that time doesn't matter if they ram you or explode because of it. They become the transgressor.
The ships actually comes to a stop, becuase that happened while I was accidentally carrying a criminal (i didn't check), and the ground base shot at me and I stopped moving, wondered why, then realised, and if you boost once after supercruise, after lining up the slot, you'll be in the station no fire zone so they'll then be wanted too.
Yes, but they are usually doing this in teams of two persons, one to disable DC, the other one to trigger station defense against you.
The ones you have to be careful for, are the ones that choose to ram in low hull ships, which can end up with you receiving a bounty upon their death and being blasted by the station for doing literally nothing. The best thing you can do, is get the heaviest ship you can and pray they go away, or go into solo and dock. Yes stations are quite vulnerable areas for players to get attacked still. Has not changed.
Yes, perfect usage as well. Bravo.
Quite, I can railgun someone from 5.8km.
This is easy to mitigate, don't speed.
Yeah, but that would be a different scenario to what the OP described.
Yes, absolutely. I just wanted to point out that people can use exploits even when you are using a DC.
Just thought of something. When we get carriers, imagine if they could outside dock to a station like a capital ship, but players can also land on the ship. Then when the the carrier is docked, we get access to all station services. Then we just let the carrier jump between stations, problem solved.
