Just when you start getting complacent - ED bites you in the bum

What a frustrating night.

• Came back from a week in the black just trolling around the Musca dark region. Was sat at 40% contributions to the Eotienses CG. Wandered back there to sell the exploration data, arrived with 8 minutes to go. Looked in my missions panel and I'd moved from top 40 to top 70 in the last 8 minutes of the CG. Lost out on 2.5m credits.
• Flies into Meredith City to refit my Asp for trading for a while, comes into land, station opens fire on me without warning just as I am about to touch down. I lose my ship. That's another 650k down. No reason why I got attacked - was not wanted, was not carrying illegals.
• Sold the Asp and decided to hop into the Cobra to cheer me up.

Not had fun tonight. I can say that much.

Were you stripped down on shields for trading? Those station weapons are pretty powerful - you might have been caught in a cross fire against an NPC ship.

Nope, I got a shedload of red messages all at once and then boom. Was most likely lag. I should have got a trespass warning but lag stopped it until the timer ran out and I got everything in the face all at once. Its only 650k but when you only have 17m that's quite a chunk.

As someone who is now sat on 17m, as of last night's 3m Eotienses payout, I feel your pain.

Are you sure you were landing on the right pad? Maybe you got the pad number wrong -- loitering on the wrong pad is a crime punishable by death, as we all know.

I thought this was going to be about a complacency induced user error - but if you effectively got lagged to death that's harsh!

Suppose I should be happy really. I sold my exploration data at the previous station to the one I got killed at....
