Landed on a station that is now hostile. Can't take off!

[Shir]

Facing a strange predicament at the moment. I landed on an unfriendly station, cashed in a massacre war mission and bonds, and the station turned hostile and started firing on me. I have no bounty or fine, I am not wanted, just bad rep. No damage cause I'm docked, but if I take off I'll probably die in seconds.

It's an Outpost, so I can't change ships. No donation missions or some way to change my rep with the controlling faction.

If I take off and die, I'll respawn at the same station, so same condition again. Is there another choice apart from taking the sidewinder and losing my engineered python?? Do I have to wait days till rep declines to unfriendly again? It does look like a dead end (unless my faction wins the remaining war and claim the Outpost)

Is it planetary? I'd probably risk it, 4 pips to shields and boost - if planetary, I'd keep as low to the ground as possible, if it's in space it should be easy enough to escape if your ship is engineered well enough in terms of defenses?

You may try to take off and fire at the outpost, so that if when you die, you respawn at a detention center with your python (unless you don't have rebuy) - problem "solved".

You got an SRV? Try escpaing in that by launching it from the landing pad, sneak around a bit, use other ships as shields, get away, recall ship.

Full Power to engines scotty!

Are outposts as lethal as the bigger stations? I got obliterated by a Coriolis within seconds but thought the outposts would be less dangerous? Never tried tickling them for a response, mind you. Maybe one for the bucket list

I have had this issue in the past, a couple of times. Outpost and Star-port.

The Star-port was the first time and this was long before the prison system was created. Planing, speed and decisiveness, got me away on the third attempt. Pips to shields, run like hell and jumped ASAP. After that, the Outpost, seemed easy.

Edit:- Outposts, don't shoot at you when you are still inside.

Anyway station turning hostile instant when your rep become bad , is a problem and wierd design.
It can in certain case, become really painfull , and may even make you loose your ship.

 

[FrogsFriend]

I don't think you'll respawn at that station if it's Hostile to you*

*You should seek independent legal advice, your ship may be at risk, I accept no legal or compensationary responsibility for these comments

 

[Judge Rhadamanthus]

if its planetary log out and boot up the non horizens version. Likely put you in orbit, as this works for things like stuck srvs etc

 

[Arry]

All else fails and re-buys are getting short.

Buy a Sidewinder. Die in Sidewinder. At the re-buy screen, pick the starter Sidewinder and transfer your ship, to you later.

Outpost, so no shipyard?

 

[Lightspeed]

Remarkable how many replies have not read the OP: He specifically states he is at an Outpost !

Just let yourself be killed and see where you end up - a prison ship most likely. A Sidewinder will have poor range to get away from it, so the original ship is best.

There is that of course.

I haven't played for months.

Outposts don't have that much firepower and the range to break mass lock is much less than on a station.

^^ This ... and remember to provide a YouTube video of your dramatic escape

Well, the game gave a solution. When I logged in again, I was at the closest detention center. Interesting outcome. Ship was here too.

So if onboard a station and you become hostile, they send you to a detention center!

Interestingly, I flew back to the enemy system, cause my carrier was there. Upon trying to land on it, the security ships flying around it (which belong to the hostile faction) start attacking me! I land on my carrier (which is also marked hostile but didn't prevent me from docking), and the security ships keep firing while the carrier is firing back at them! Battle music plays and I watch it from an external camera while docked. It continues even when I lowered the ship inside the carrier!

I'll give them a brake and move it to a nice hideout nearby! They probably lost the system already!
