Odyssey: being afk and get kill by npc

So I was being afk in a base on a planet, infront of a command panel. Was afk for dinner, for not even 30min or so, when I get back to my computer, see my character being arrested...
Is it because I was infront of a command panel? Or being afk to a npc is illegal?
 
hmmm...interesting but I smell there is something you maybe hiding :sneaky:
or maybe you just need one of these.....

Being outside drains battery.
Having stolen good in your backpack will get you killed also if NPC scans you.

You can easily check your logs and see if you died or you were killed.
 
Standing out in a hostile environment and slowly having your suit's battery drain because it works hard to keep you alive is not the best of ideas.

Once the battery is out, suit loses power and bye bye life.

I don't think they can scan if you have stolen goods from other base tho.... I just arrive to this new one, and went afk... so I can tell that I am clean.
Beside, even if I have stolen goods on me, and npc scam me, it still seems that I am clean to them, unless I took the goods infront of them...
 
Stolen goods - like g-meds, illegal data, e-breaches will flag you as hostile after scan.

The mechanics for not being seen applies only for components - graphene, micro chips etc.

There is an indication if you have an item in your backpack that is illegal and will fail you after a scan.

yeah I only had components on me, don't have the brave to loot others things... not even locked container...

There is a bug apparently definitely that sometimes you leave your ship/SRV and the code decides that you need 2 e-breaches, which are illegal.

Since patch 6 I've had this happen twice - and each time, even if you put the items back, next time you get into/out of your ship/SRV, they're there again. I think in your case it was either that or no oxygen as @Factabulous said. For myself, luckily I noticed and managed to complete the mission without any imperial entanglements.

As @Episparh says, best way is to check your game log files.

I try not to do AFK in Odyssey unless I can get back to my ship/SRV, and even then try and get away from two-leggeds (trouble makers). Not since last time I was doing a scavenger elimination mission - wife asked me to peel some vegetables that I did in about 2 minutes; got back, despite being on a roof they'd fragged me. One of those situations that it was completely my fault but I still blamed my wife (didn't tell here that though :) )
 
This shows the stupidness of the "relog and we delete ALL the loot" instead of saving the state of the instance.

This player could have just logged out instead of AFK
 
If he was in front of a command panel, he shouldn't have drained his battery unless his shield was up or the building had been depressurized. Since he was in front of a command panel, probably he was in trespassing area and got killed?
