So I was docking at Chango dock if I'm not mistaken. I'm at 100% hull and shields. I'm in the middle of the station going probably 10 meters a second. It would have taken me 15-20 seconds to hit anything. Suddenly the station disappears and I immediately throttle down to 0. I do not move. Within 10 seconds it comes back. I regain full control. I check my surroundings by just rotating. I decide the cost is clear when my hud disappears and my nice ship lady says "Shields Offline. Eject. Eject." I explode. I lose my eagle and I don't have enough credits to rebuy it. What. The. 
. So does anyone know how I can avoid this next time? Or how to prevent it in the first place? I spent a good 9 hours that have all just been washed away.
To who would say "Well that's the nature of Elite, don't put all your eggs in one basket to prevent losing everything." I wouldn't be frustrated had I been killed by pirates or fed fighters. I wouldn't be frustrated if I had crashed into a sun. I'm frustrated because I had no control over the issue. A purely technological bug that just ruined all my progress.

I would have had enough, but a mission that wanted me to bring some sort of enhancer paid me less than what the damn thing was worth. It didn't occur to me that Frontier would put in a quest that would be a net loss no matter what you do, apart from finding the resource floating in space, and even if I did, it would have been more profitable to just sell it at the store. I'm not too mad about that though, it's a Beta. Where I start to get mad is the threat of just losing everything for no reason.
I'm %99 sure frontier doesn't give out in game compensation like CCP does with EvE Online, so I'm sol. Anyone one else have this issue? Or perhaps some tips on bagging credits fast.
P.S. I'm not going to stop playing, stuff happens. It's just really annoying. Elite is a wonderful game, I just drew the short straw.
