Horizons 60% hull to rebuy screen in an instant?

Having a pop at a pirate outside a station who followed my drop (stupid, should have just ignored him and docked), accidentally fired off a couple of mines inside the no fire zone which of course gets me a fine.

I then get a wanted status and the fed security come after me which drops my shields. (maybe a fed ship hit the mine or something?)

I retract hardpoints and engage my FSD, nearly charged before I stupidly re-enter mass lock with the station.

2 seconds later I go from 60% hull to my ship exploding and facing a rebuy screen.

No cargo on board and buckets of money, so other than the 10 minute trip back from Dark Hide to Sothis I haven't lost anything.

But why did it happen?? Did the station shoot me? Was it a glitch? Did I just get hit by some really powerful missiles?

They got beefed up after 2.1 dropped.

People found that with high-level defensive mods they could literally sit in the entrance slot, soak up the damage the station guns tried to deal and trolled the station by preventing most traffic.

While i don't actually have a problem with that, I do on the other hand see it as a remarkably potent waste of time.... ;) Either way, station guns got more ouchie to deal with.

Aah okay, didn't realise that was an issue otherwise I wouldn't have risked trying to take out the pirate in the first place!

Still, it's for the greater good so I'll put that one down to experience. Haha

Station weaponry, while it does have 'smaller' guns near the slot and such, if you find the bigger ones on the outside, they dwarf huge hardpoints last I checked, get hit by one of those? owpain.

Been there done that but only the once.
.
A normal drop from sc will place you about 8km from the station.
Coriolis stations have no fire/speeding zone that extends out to 4km.
Orbis stations have a no fire/speeding zone that extends out to 10km, and a normal drop will place you 2km inside the no fire/speed zone. :)
