Hyperspacing back to the station is pretty much just telling the game "hey, can I please see the spinning sidewinder and lose all of my credits please"
That never seems to happen to me. The losing credits thing at least. Plenty of hangs though.
The only time I lost money was when I had just bought some new weapons and they tried to hyperspace. The game hung and when I eventually got back in again I had the original weapons minus a few thousand credits. Not the end of the world but annoying all the same.
