Sentry Skimmer Spawns need to be reworked

Now I doubt I'm the only one who's experienced this heartbreaking moment. Where you're flying in to land, minding your own business and doing legal cargo runs when Bam! Next thing you know, your ship is dead and you gotta pay fees out the bum. What happened was a Sentry Skimmer spawned above you and dropped down to where the city is. You then decide to pull up to line up with the pad and you smack into a skimmer you can't see. Now you're wanted with a 400cr bounty and the best part? The station is right there, aiming... waiting... You're done. That's why I'm posting this thread. I would like a few things done about this. Either, you aren't fired upon immediately, the skimmers have some defence to impacts, the spawns are changed, or you get a fine instead of a bounty. One of those changes will make an honest mistake not a fatal mistake. If you'd like to see what I'm talking about, it happened to me.

Please excuse the conversation, it was bad timing on our part lol.

I put in a ticket but it seems that they might be drowning in them since it's been about a week and I haven't received word back.

Anyways, I hope my call will be heard. Stay safe out there Commander!

I've been very wary approaching stations knowing this bug had appeared. I watched the shadows of descending skimmers on the planet surface wondering whereabouts they were in the sky above me. Quite unsettling it was.

The bug is well known, many have reported it and the dev team are working on a fix. Here's hoping it's corrected in the next update. Until then, fly safe commanders o7
