Anyone else notice npc ships dropping out of SC on top of stations?

I was cruising for some chicks at a big station, tooling along side a station my Beluga just exploded. Hmmm. Gremlins from the kremlin and moved on. A few days ago I just handed my ship off to the DC and an npc ship dropped from SC right off the bow, scared the ell outta me. Now I KNEW. tonight as I rounded the station, I saw the small flash, heard the thump, my python took a tumble and dropped shields to about 10%. It only seems to happen at coriolis stations. Anyone else?
 
That only seems to happen to me when dropping from SC at the Starport after being pursued by pirates during a mission. Pirate drops in front of me - zap. I skirt around him and dock. Your manoeuvrability may vary. :)
 
Thank you for that, I do run a lot of passenger missions where hostile ships will be after me.
To old and slow to put the two together. Every time I hear that thump I pucker up. I dinna hear it when the beluga went boom. :)

I've only seen that happen when I'm being chased by an NPC pirate. It's usually funny to see the station light him up while I stand off near the slot before I dock.
Never actually collided with anyone before though
