How do you know that the NPC wasn't speeding?

Faybs · Jul 28, 2015

Yep. To be completely certain you'd need to get a friend, also in a sidey for obvious reasons, to volunteer to get rammed by you when standing still. If the station doesn't attack him then there's no bug, otherwise you need to file a ticket.

This is pure paranoia. The T-9 may have had Point Defence activated and caught up in the crossfire.

This was an issue in 1.3 beta, but it seems it was resolved. You can see the thread here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=148233

As others have commented, how do you know the NPC wasn't speeding?

Because NPCs don't speed on their final approach to the docking bay. Especially not when it I watched it STOP to line up with the bay door before I hit the boost. Also it was a T9. I doubt it CAN speed without fully upgraded thrusters and full power to engines, and I don't think NPCs do that.

Anyone want to meet me in something with a cheapish re-buy but big enough to kill a ramming Sidey, let me ram you, and ... Know what, nevermind. No skin off my back. I was trying to save you all some trouble by putting out an issue I noticed. If you choose not to believe me, well, maybe it really got fixed already. Maybe not. Either way, not my problem. I play solo and NPCs may be stupid but they don't grief. So have fun, best of luck to you all. I'm done here.

he is right here try using a DC. as soon as your DC takes over your speed warning will shut off even with the DC boosting to the station.

although a better place would be a support ticket to report this glitch ->https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/

I'm curious enough to give it a go.
