Just randomly exploded 4km outside of Nicollier Hanger

If I remember right someone posted a youtube video of it happening to a T9 or some other large ship a while ago on these forums.
 
I had a ship spawn into my own ship, all of a sudden an explosion and i see parts flying in all directions.

My shield was down to its last ring. Pretty sure it was not some1 ramming me. Had i been flying something smaller, then i would have been the dead one.

Is this happening to any other ship types other than the ASP? Or aren't people bothering with posting about it happening with the cheaper ships?

happened to me in a t9.

Had a similar problem with my suicidal type 7. It must have been the umpteenth time going through a standard docking on my boring old trade route, when my ship suddenly decided to blow up as i was descending towards the pad. Shields and hull were full, so I'm still completely puzzled as to what caused it. That's the only time such a thing has happened to me in the dozens of hours I have clocked.
 
I 've been do the same trading route in my type 7 for several days. Then yesterday on the way back to the station, on exiting supercruise, there was a loud bang. The hull was instantly damage and went to 43%. Strangely, the shield was at full strength with no damage at all. I then immediately throttled down to 0%, confused at what just happened. Then, about 5 seconds later, another loud bang and my ship blew up. Still don't know what had happened.
 
I almost got a T7 as a hood ornament last night. I was in the middle of the port waiting for it to slowly pass through the mail slot when it instantly accelerated to a ridiculous speed without firing boosters, barely missing me. When I turned around it was already on a pad behind me. I'm guessing latency or dropped packets doing weird things.
 
How many pips to shields did you have at the time? I've had one occasion where I was coming in to land on the pad and then suddenly boom...ship is shieldless and spinning with half hull gone, but I survived thanks to four pips to shields. Still no idea what happened to cause it.
 
Wow, there are so many people "randomly blowing up" O.O

I played only very briefly, today, but I have to admit there could be something little off. When I was undocking for the first time, there was T9 and another Clipper above me, not moving, staring at me....
 
Happens to my Lakon-6. Ticket it as Can Not Play as they will get to you faster. They reimburse my insurance but not cargo. It's happening on ships as small as a Lakon-6 (anyone experienced it on Cobra or below?) and as big as Anaconda. Anaconda guy actually got it recorded and he just blew... My wallet screams just watching the video...
