On one hand, the DBX player is being a tool and is childishly doing it just to annoy others (and succeeding).
On the other hand, mailslot blocking has always used by griefers and not just 3.0. It's not fair to apportion some of the blame FDEV for this loser's behaviour.
If I had the sudden urge to block the mailslot up in order to farm some salt, a DBX would be quite far down the list of ships I'd use.

Frankly, as much as I don't like to interfere with others needlessly, posts like OP's make me want to go play the suicide ram game in Cubeo.
@OP, you're angry because you failed to obey the rules. Obey the rules and you won't have to get angry.

Must be the saltiest popcorn ever [haha]
If my poor laptop didn't run at 15fps around stations (god knows how low it would go in open with human players around) I'd be tempted to join you.
Or you could just boost around the recessed entrance of a Coriolis station in an unshielded sidewinder. Its lots of fun trying not to crash and also makes people think you are about to grief them and makes them do all sorts of silly things like boosting into the toast rack etc.
True story:-
I was leaving an undisclosed location in my Corvette the other night, at under 100m/sec.
Got past the toast-rack and thought "That's weird, it's not handling right".
Was just about to give my joystick a thump (cos that fixes everything) when there was an explosion and a message popped up for telling me I'd killed somebody or other.
No bounty or anything though.
If I accidentally killed somebody who was just trying to squeeze past, I'm very sorry.
If, OTOH, it was somebody trying to cause me problems, you're gonna need a bigger ship.

Exactly. You would use a Beluga since that's what they were built for. God knows they're useless at everything else...
Beyond the salt as usual around here, it'd be nice if we could have a functions option for this to limit our speeds to 100 m/s when landing gear is down or able to be toggled otherwise. Limiting my speed to this can be rather difficult in some of my ships, especially with the way my controller is set up for momentary full impulse when landing gear is down. Ah, the challenges of not having a proper sliding throttle.
Not the end of the world as I've manged so far in the game, but it'd be one of those things that would be nice to have.

I unwittingly snagged an NPC Cobra on the wing of my Type-9 the other day and dragged it all the way through the station, out of the mailslot and a few KM out before it eventually blew up. Not my finest moment of situational awareness.
I love the Beluga. I love the way it looks, the way it handles in supercruise (yaw baby!) even how it's surprisingly agile in normal flight. Stick the pink paintjob on it and you have yourself a lovely Barbieluga.
Unfortunately the internal compartment layout was designed by a double-lobotomised chimp.

How do you get a DBX stuck in the mailslot, that thing is tiny?
LMAO. Did that with my T9 the other night with an NPC Dolphin. I was going in and he was coming out, needless to say he bounced off and got wedge in part of the station, a few minutes later he was toast.
This was the best era in ED, when there were no fines!
There was a huge satisfaction in boosting your T9 out the slot, having an Eagle bounce of your hull where you'd wait for a few seconds to hear if you got an explosion or not.
If you got one it'd be like - yessssss get in!
I have no idea why but there was something very satisfying about it, if you got one you'd leave the slot with a huge grin on your face!
Obviously NPCs only. =p

When T9s actually felt like behemoths, T6s and Cobras just bouncing off your hull.
Of course it was abused so had to be removed, and mass/damage was tweaked. Such a shame.

OP's posting history is a sight to behold.
Seems to have some kinda of hairdryer fetish.
