Anaconda CMDR destroyed outside Lave Station

Just saw a CMDR Anaconda blown up by Lave Station. I wonder what he did to upset it? Even with insurance, that must cost a bit.

I had just exitied Lave Station. The Anaconda was some distance outside and my radar showed it had hardpoints deployed, which is why I looked to see what was happening.

maybe he forgot he is inside the no fire zone and opened up on someone which the station didnt like very much :D
 
Does an active Point Defense Turret show as a deployed hardpoint on the radar? And for several seconds after it's fired?

Not afaik. As long as they are powered on the modules tab they are active, whether or not hardpoints are deployed. If you are looking at a ship, the only place they show is on the target sub-component page on the left hand screen.

Unfortunately, if they fire at a missile and hit the station instead it's an excuse for instant vaporisation....
 
I was just about to leave a station in my asp a few days ago when two npc drop ships began a slow crawl through the letter box, fair enough I moved aside and waited for them to clear but by the time they did that I was getting the loitering warning with a ticking clock sound so I re-positioned and cleared the slot with 8 seconds to spare and saw the message that my docking privileges had been restored. Didn't think any more of it and was heading to my parking station for the night when I got there and docked I did my usual routine of toping up the fuel, repairing wear & tear, paintwork and checking the station contact tab to make sure I hadn't unknowingly picked up any fines. There it was 400cr fine no reason given, it also showed up in the left panel tab but I'd not checked that since I hadn't done any missions that day. It's been over 24 hours now since my last Logan so I had not been in the habit of checking the station contacts before I put the old girl to bed I wouldn't have known about it and would be attempting to leave the station today as a WANTED felon and would probably have been blown away with a million+ cr of cargo before I even cleared the station. Ok I know there is a wanted status shows up on the lower right of the ships view but it's something that's easy to miss. It's far to easy and costly to make this type of mistake and loose so much over a minor infraction. I'm already starting to get paranoid about docking station, their by far the biggest griefers in the game, So check first, docking permission granted - yes, landing gear down - yes, power to systems - yes, wanted sign displayed - no, go ahead and hope for the best....
