Thanks for all the replies/info. Hopefully I'm learning
Sounds just like my beginner days.. when you check the passenger missions in red writing you will see maybe wanted in systems etc.. if you take these passengers you can only take them back to the station if you use silent running and avoid the scan. Of course Auto docking doesn't allow this so manual docking only. Go to robigo mines in the robigo system. The missions there are mostly criminal masterminds and rich tourists but you don't get scanned when returning them. You will go to Sirius atmospherics which shows up in the list when you are within 1000ls of the planet. You will earn mega money in no time.I like this game,really I do. However,I'm fed up with getting ganked by the game. I'm fairly new to the game (by a few weeks) and play solo mode mostly.
Right now am doing mostly passenger transport and courier missions. Now,to be fair up until yesterday I'd only been destroyed about once in every
10m/cr. I can live with that. However, in the last 24 hours I've been destroyed 5-6 times(if not more) and had to rebuy of course. Now mind you, I haven't been destroyed while explorering, only when right at the mail slot while entering and I mean right at the entrance and very quickly so as I can't even back out.
Twice now I've received permission to dock only to come under fire while entering slot and then 'permission denied' and destroyed by dock security themselves. Just awhile ago,twice within the hour.
I don't like complaining without cause but this is too much.If it happens again I'm out.I play on pc and am stuck at 30ish m/cr because of
this. Any insight to this problem would be appreciated.
Do it all:If you're travelling too fast due to having boosted, to shake a scan..... Put Gear Down, it acts like air brakes and slows the ship quicker.
Air brakes... doth though realise one is in sp..sp..sp..space... o7If you're travelling too fast due to having boosted, to shake a scan..... Put Gear Down, it acts like air brakes and slows the ship quicker.
OP, you're too new to the game to be fed up. You're in the learn up stage, not the fed up stage.
LOL. Void Opal mining you can make over a Billion in 10 hours.I'll try one last time
Go to Robigo Mines
Play in Solo with as many economy class cabins as you can fit in the best ship you can afford that is no bigger than medium size.
The Python is ideal, but smaller ships will also pay well.
Take all the Sightseeing Passenger Missions you can to Sirius Atmospherics.
Once you're Allied with all factions you'll start seeing nice payouts and you don't get scanned.
Otherwise, just ignore the above and complain...
Your choice
Read the missions descriptions, it'll tell you if your passengers are wanted. Don't take the ones that are wanted, if you're not comfortable docking and undocking at ludicrous speed.

So do you also eat using your fingers instead of using a fork and a knife?D..docking computer?

Don't stress over it too much. It was just a joke. I have a hybrid car in real life with automatic gear. Here in Portugal, most of the cars sold are with manual shifting gear. But since I went auto, the manual gear feels too much primitive to me. It requires more maintenance, it stresses the car more, and wastes more fuel when in steep roads.So do you also eat using your fingers instead of using a fork and a knife?
I have a couple of ships where I have used the slots for other thingies, and I've never crashed my ship during landing, even though I've done some pretty rough ones. I remember one time when one of the engineers said "Your-arrival-has-been-noted" after I accidentally hit boost instead of landing gear, and maybe dented the landing pad slightly. (The game needs more humor like that).
Still, if I have room for it I fit both DC and SC. I think it's called convenience. For me it gives me more time to just sit and be awestruck by the Universe passing by in all it's glory, without having to fiddle around with the throttle in the blue zone. Humans can't multitask. It's a myth.
Maybe it's because I don't really get the honor and shame thing. Those are often highly overrated. Like good taste
Yeah my post was supposed to be ironic as well towards the shame-cult in generalDon't stress over it too much. It was just a joke. I have a hybrid car in real life with automatic gear. Here in Portugal, most of the cars sold are with manual shifting gear. But since I went auto, the manual gear feels too much primitive to me. It requires more maintenance, it stresses the car more, and wastes more fuel when in steep roads.
Anyway, in-game, if the slot was locked to auto-dock modules, I would simply accept it, but since the slot can be changed to something else, I always prefer to ditch DC and SC for something more useful, like a lightweight fuel transfer limpet module. You never know when someone close to you is in need.
The joke was related to all those "git gud" boys around that like it rough and manual.
Cheers!
