Here is what just happened.
I'm in 39 Tau, docking at Porta. On the half way between the station entry and the docking place (on the far side) i received a warning about "loitering". Since i was not loitering but was approaching in my normal way, i continued. When i reached my docking place, i was unable to dock and the message was still on. I decided to go out of the station, but my ship was destroyed by the station weapons. It was 150k cost + 100k cargo, not a big deal.
With the next ship i go to Porta again, my docking request is granted. Just when i passed station entry, i got "tresspassing" warning, a message that 1000cr were added to my bounty (i was even unaware there was bounty on me) and my ship was again destroyed by the police!
So i have several questions:
1. Why is docking request granted, when i'm not allowed to dock?
2. Why is there a bounty on me and i cant' dock after my ship was destroyed before?
3. Was the loitering detection algorithm ever tested???
4. Did i hit a bug, or some designer in Frontier suffers from mental disability due to untreated deficiency of thyroid hormones, because if not a bug, obviously this is quite idiotic gameplay behaviour.
5. How am i supposed to dock and clear my bounty?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english.
