Sorry, but it's things like this that make me like Elite even more. It's an unpredictable universe, and guess what? It's dangerous! I have arrived at docks where there is fighting going on and thought it might be best not to dock there. If you don't want to take risks then stick to safer, controlled systems or get better at realising when you might be flying into a war-zone.
One of the things that I'm liking most about Elite is the lack of a 'Virtual Nanny' to hold your hand. As a console gamer I am finding it so refreshing to have to learn as I go, being observant and by making some expensive mistakes!
For me, the only bug here is the one that allowed you to quit the game and load back in outside the dock.
