We just got killed inside George Lucas station by a CMDR in a viper who didn't appear to be taking any damage from the station. ?

Sigh. They come in waves, it seems. I don't think there's anything you can do, except move somewhere else. He will get bored, eventually?

Thanks for the tip. He's been reported. Didn't even realize that this was something that had to be watched out for, much less that it could be reported.

It's not a hack. It's just spamming chaff and occasionaly a shield cell. Station gunners suck.

It's actually probably a hack as station guns aren't affected by chaff any more. Report the player, if it's who I think it is they're due a ban.

How does spamming chaff kill another player in a station? (Not disagreeing, honestly asking)

There are hacks though.

You used to be able to spam chaff and shield cells and the station guns couldn't hit you.

Ah, yeah I knew about that, but that was fixed, so probably definitely a hack. Regardless, it sucks.

Thanks for the fast and efficient help folks. Thanks to you guys I reported the guy mere minutes after it happened so it should be pretty obvious in the logs.

Bear in mind just because you were killed by one player who could have been hacking don't let that one experience put you off open. If you're near the core populated systems there's more chance of trouble but hackers are actually rare in open mode. I've played for 700 hours and never met one and I've only even been killed once by another player.

It didn't. If our butt was hanging and we lost our ship to it maybe, but we're grinding up an A level reactor for our cobra by running the Leesti to Geras route. Yes, it cost us like 220k credits... but we'll get twice that the next load of rares we offload.

One more thing I may be corrected at, but:

Is shooting inside of the station different from firing in a no-fire zone? Because if you shoot wanted ship in no fire zone, you only get fined, not wanted (that's how it worked in 1.0
Which means you could shoot that guy down for a mere fine. Or you will at least be sure he's cheating if you're not successful in bringing his shields down.

In any case, spam F10.
