So this is how new players are greeted?

You're right, but you cant hope to control or significantly influence the game's community from the forum, the majority of players, especially those less likely to be sociable, will never visit the forum.
So its just something we have to live with, as in all other multiplayer games.
ON the plus side the way you died won't be too much of a problem in the future, its simply a bug/missing feature that people can get away with attacking you inside the station, in the future that would almost certainly mean their destruction as the station defences turn on them.
I'm not saying this is the case,But...It may not have even been a player or NPC.
Only today I was coming out of Chango,must have hit the wrong button and went into silent mode,at the time I didn't realise as I was trying not to scrape the sides of the letter box (I'm rather new too) ...anyway to cut a long story short,the ship exploded.And I have exploded in a variety of different ways previously,in fact,the only thing to not kill me yet,is a player.
The thing is,when youre new you don't always suss out straight away what has happened,it comes with experience and quite often the same thing happening again to point you in the right direction as to who the culprit was...Yourself (in my case)

You got to over three hours without being killed? Lucky you! Ample time to learn the skills.
Joking aside, how many hours should it be before the universe becomes dangerous for new players?
The latest newsletter has details of the most wanted players at this time. They better watch their backs
Fly safe, Commander Roadkill

They're not necessarily most wanted for killing other players though, so maybe hold off on the mob justice if your motivation is to go after PKers...
Oh my, you got killed in a game?
Here, have a tissue.
you sure you have some 'unspoiled' ones left?

No I guess we can't. The OP signed up today, made one post and then went straight offline. Since then it's turned into yet another PvP discussion that's being played out in so many other threads. Just wait and see if he comes back online and let him answer the posts that are here.
Megablam firstly welcome to the forums! And secondly, sorry to hear of your bad first impressions of the game, as stated above yes there are some idiots around but (as with life in general) there are more nice people than nasty people so hopefully you will have fun times ahead
Please add me to your friends list (Pablo72) , I'm one of the nice guys

He'll be back online but not to read these replies. He'll be back to make another rant.
Wise words.
It's funny how people want the 'kill anyone anywhere' mechanic of EVE, but without any of the punishments. Just saying.

Not sure if this was pointed at me, but one thing I have been very adamant about on these forums is my support for the consequences for unlawful acts detailed in the DDF Archive.
Gebuz... Away from the forum for a few, and... Wauw.
To simplify: The aim with my initial post was not to whine about being smashed by an old timer ([stuff] happens and this is Beta). My aim was a general concern, that we must observe a descent behaviour towards new players.
Although new to this edition, I am an old time Elite player, so getting the hang of the ropes within this edition, wasn't that hard. And I have been playing MMO's for more years, than I care to count, so he was not the first scumbag, I've encountered (probaly not the last either).
So no tears, no "I quit" crap here - was just annoyed with the buggar, when I wrote my initial post.
And FYI: Yes, it was a player, who whacked me. The game told me so, when I entered the menu. And yes, I have the commanders handle carved into my dashboard on my new Sidewinder, no, you may not know his name (this is personal), yes, it was an Anarchy planet, and no, the spacestation did not ice the hoodlem (it was in LS 98-132).
Hope this clarifies things a bit - thanks for all the positive feedback (both here an via PM). The rest of you hardballers: see you in my sights

One thing
you may want to be careful about masked swearing in your posts, the mods don't really like it here If it was in Freeport and the station definitely didn't destroy his ship after he killed you then you should definitely raise a ticket for it, as Michael suggested this should have been fixed.
