Python repairs: I like the 'scout' but don't want to be forced to fly it!

Big ship users: please send tickets if you get this sort of thing. I'm getting responses to tickets admitting that this is wrong, but they are being a bit unclear about if and when they will patch it. I like the three new ships, but I'd rather fly them out of choice than be forced into them by taxing our hard earned big ships. I've spent about 7 million on small repairs for my python this week and have been refunded a very small part of that, which is slightly annoying as the replies to my tickets do say it is "wrong", however, it's not about the money but about feeling confident enough to get back in my Python without dreading repair costs if I fail an interdiction. The attached picture is typical of the type of 'repair all' bills I've had all week when I have not lost shields or any hull percentage. For losing 6 percent from failing an interdiction, I am being billed 300,000 credits. On the couple of occasions I have had my hull knocked down by 30-40 percent, I pay 6 - 1.2 million in repairs.
EDIT: THEY JUST FIXED IT...YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! :)

I think it's a bug. I agree with FD in that repair costs need a serious buff, and they should make all pilots think about their engagements, but for no hull damage? Definitely a bug.

Ha ha, fortunately not as you'll notice I'm dead on a single rebuy there - have a couple of ship chassis to sell which will fetch me a few more rebuys for the python if needed. Also, I was running a pricey 3 plasma load at this time which I don't often use. Basically I tired of big haul trading and planning to have fun in wings with power play etc, which means grinding for ship rebuys in warzones, the new (excellent) fixed missions, and perhaps a spot of RES. This is why my concern about the high costs of repairs, as it's all very well spending an hour in a combat zone making 800,000 (my average) when you get stung 900,000 on your return. I'm willing to accept the repair price FD suggest, however, they are saying it's wrong so I posted this (and I know there have been many this week!) to encourage large ship owners to send tickets...cheers :)
PS If I get shot down more than 4 times in the python, I will drop back to an asp or clipper, but who knows, I may just be able to make enough while having fun to keep it going.
PPS Going to REP you for flying the drop ship - I love it!
