Horizons Is this a bug?

I was transporting passengers and coming in for a landing at Polansky Barracks in the Omicron-2 Eridani system. I approached the station, slowed to a stop, requested docking and was granted docking permission. My docking computer took over and my ship began the landing process. Halfway to touchdown I was scanned but had no wanted individuals so was not worried. Then the station opened fire, destroyed my ship and the only reason given was through voice attack/EDDI and it was "...the controlling faction does't like us."

By chance, I was recording the session so I uploaded it to my YouTube channel. The destruction of my ship happened late in play but I edited the footage so that it shows the incident at the beginning, and then shows the entire session, from beginning to end, including the destruction of my ship and my shocked reaction.

All I do is transport passengers right now which is about the safest thing there is if you don't take criminals. I am not involved in any power play and had no warrants anywhere.
I had 2 passenger groups. Both had a General as the main passenger.
 
I strongly suspect you fell victim to the 'falling skimmers' bug.

Skimmers are currently spawning at ludicrously high altitudes, then falling. If one hits you it takes damage and the base assumes that you attacked it.
 
I have seen a falling skimmer at several planet landings. This bug that gets you in trouble should be sorted out by Fdev ASAP.
 
Never use a docking computer these "falling" days, because it doesn't stop and take a break on the border of the no fire zone... ;-/


Edit: just forgot, open up a ticket with support to get atr least your rebuy costs back

Not a bug.

If you damage the station or craft (manned or otherwise) affiliated with that faction, they will shoot to destroy within the station. This is intended behaviour from my experience.
 
Falling skimmer bug. You briefly got a message (visible in the video) saying you acquired a bounty for damaging a skimmer. Then the base opened fire on you for "attacking" the skimmer.
