Reckles flying... really?

I'm probably known as being somewhat of a "forumdad" and a "carebear" here. (Although my attitude has changed radically in the last 4-6 months so consider me a reformed character of sorts ;) )

However - I have to admit - the SDC have a point.

Don't break the speed limit at a station. It's as simple as that.

And anyway think about it - if you don't speed, you'll be frustrating their attempts at causing one to feel grief ;)

I will be frustrating their attemp to grief even more if I am obviously speeding and they fail to get me killed.
 
After ramming you, and you getting a reckless flying fine, it isn't enough for the station to open fire on you.
So what they do is they ram themselves into the station itself (commit suicide) and die.

The game registers
1) a collision has occured between ships, and a fine is issued for reckless flying to any ship that was speeding.
2) one of the ships dies.

The game then links the 2 events, thinks that the ship died as a result of the collision with a speeding ship (you) and issues a bounty for murder (because the other ship has been destroyed), which then causes the station to open fire on the surviving ship with the bounty.

Player interaction at its finest.

if you watched my stream there are lots of bugs with ramming. The game will register the crime when you just scratch the ship and kill yourself in the process. We managed to get someone inside the station even when going less than -100m/s.

Agree it's not really complicated. Someone flying a conda killed another player because he was going too fast outside the station. These are unfortunate events that must be prevented and the only way to do that is to make people learn the hard way until a proper crime system is implemented.

TOTALLY not true - many have posted about this being FALSE. Rammed by scan even when under this supposed 100 speed limit and still fined is a known problem that has not been fixed.

Call . Never happened to me in any collision under 100 and I've shunted plenty of smaller ships outta my way. Also never heard of this "known issue"
 
Docking computer will let your ship boost toward entrance well over the speed limit and not be "SPEEDING"

If under AI control, no fines apply for reckless driving if you run into someone.
