I don't know how to get back stuff unless you do another endless grind to get them 
Just lost 6 million in credits!

Waitaminute, docking computers come with their own soundtrack. I must try this now.
"IMHO computers [are programmed with imperfect instructions] in real life why can't they in the game?"
Fixed?
Does the docking computer run Windows 237? That would explain everything.
Problem with cat pilots is when they start bounty hunting. They will corner and immobilise their target, but then take forever tormenting it before delivering the kill shot. This is obviously griefing and cats should be banned from the game, or nerfed.

So you don't have to physically perform the landing all the time? Doesn't mean you should LEAVE.
Take this from the simulator's point of view. Imagine you're the pilot. You set your docking computer, then you get up, leave the cockpit, and go to the jacks while you trust the ship to just fly itself into a complicated parking manoeuvre on the inside of a rotating space station. I'd say the station authorities would revoke your licence if they caught you doing that.
Guys, please. While some people may have been ribbing the OT unfairly, NOONE has been a fanboy suggesting that everything is all right with the DC in Elite Dangerous or said something like "the DC is ok, must have been your fault for not using it correctly."
On the contrary. Everyone (including the two of you!) KNOW that it is flawed and sometimes acts unexpectedly and may crash your ship or get you blown up by a station. Nevertheless you knowingly chose to use it anyway. You even chose to leave in unattended, even though you are aware that it might cause you trouble and you might lose money.
Let's take some examples:
- If you knew from friends and media that a certain product you were desperate to buy, was a complete ripp-off and not worth the wrapping it ships in, would you buy it anyway?
- If you were sitting in your car in front of you satnav programming you destination, and you knew from experience the satnav may take you the wrong way of you chose "fastest route", would you use "fastest route" anyway?
Of course you wouldn't. Because you know better. And if you did anyway, whose fault would have been if anything went south? Take a guess!
Believe me if I say: I can 100% understand that you are angry that the damn DC didn't work. I really can.
BUT RESPONSIBILITY not only lies with the manufacturer (programmer) but also with the user. I expect you to be a breathing and thinking human being. And as such you are responsible for the decisions you make. And if you willingly decide to do something you know might bring you harm, or to be pontentially dangerous, you have to own up. So be angry at the Docking Computer for trashing you ship. You have every right to be. But be also angry at yourself for letting the DC fool you into thinking it might magically be perfect all of a sudden.
You Americans have a saying right? "Fool me once: shame on you. Fool me twice: shame on ME"

It's completely your fault sir. Any pilot that would leave the cockpit while in flight, get's what they deserved. ED punishes laziness and carelessness severely. Perhaps now you will learn your lesson? Perhaps not...
Wow That's a lot of spondoolys to lose. My recent 1/2 mill seems triffle now, But hey NEVER trust anything auto then leave it (more so with that sort of loot) a new player could have just as easily side swiped you, if at controls you could have had a chance to save all, but being on the loo with 6 mil on auto wow you have faith I feel ya though (Y) Chin up and onward and none of this quitting business a lesson learnt the hard way bug or not Just remember this " NO POOPING* WHILE DOCKING" had to change this from Sh*tting
See ya out there Cmdr !!

Got my credits back. Was advised to be careful while using the docking computer while some changes are made.
Can we please now close this thread.
P.s. I also stick my 2 fingers to people who said not to give me my credits back. At the end of the day I found a bug and I should be commended and not condemned as I have been here.
A big difference between the forum today and ddf section of the forum 2 years ago.
No wonder many of the kickstarter people no longer post here or keep a low profile.
Shows what kind of place that this forum has become by some.
Anyhow as they say in usa "up yours" to those that deserve it.
LOL ��

Good to hear
The lesson you learned here should have been, dont ever take a dump until your ship is in the hangar??
Yet you continue to use automated docking... a feature that has been broken in every Elite game released since the introduction of the personal computer...
Negative sympathy
