Some of the penalties in this game seem to be over the top. This is one of them. I found another, but can't think what it is now, that when it happened I thought this is totally unreal and crazy as a punishment for this kind of infraction. Whether you use the DC or not it's not a reasonable reaction in my opinion.
I am angry!

If you listen to the announcer lady inside the docking bay, she does say "Remember, loitering is a capitol offense. Have a safe day."
Doesn't matter what she says. It's a matter of reasonable penalties proportionate to the offense. Get parking ticket, police SWAT team shoots you.
I filed a ticket, 50409, which may not get any action but at least I tried.
That won't save you <G>. As per some of the posts in this thread and my experience - you will get shot.
Yes it seems to harsh, especially when game bugs cause your death.
I would like there to be a standard fee of, for example, 500 credits for loitering and on top of that 10 credits for every second you loiter, with a visible counter on your HUD.
There are already "in and out lanes" on every station with an aperture entrance. There are three lanes in use:
Green lit entry/exit lane
Central lane used by auto dock
Red lit entry do not enter/do not exit
As with everything else in Elite though, you'll probably want to be looking as you use these lanes, in case anything is in the way or taking up too much room
