yeah i just finished my CS report and sent it to them a few minutes ago. im still astonished they even have that as an option. FDEV really is doing everything they can to try and make this experience as best as it can be especially on the support side. i cant even count how many games would have a problem like this and the devs or SC team just tell you to kick rocks. so with FDEV doing all they do to try and fix problems from bugs and compensate players their lost assets. truly gaining mad respect in my eyes.
what happened at this outpost what did i do wrong?!

lawls. i am too very glad its going to be sorted. honestly would not have been with out you guys on the forum to help out. so yall deserve a pat on the back for that. and lawls. yeah i dont i like me more PVE style games. ive been horribly burned out on PVP gaming this last 2 years due to REALLY bad and prolific cheating and sweat lords out there. i just want a nice game to relax to. not something to be on the edge of my seat about to get taken for everything because someone absolutely needs to ruin someones day because their parents never told them they loved them or what ever their reasons for taking games so seriously to the point of needing to cheat or use really cheaty tactics on people who are not good at the game. lawls.
Thanks, I learned something.
oh no. ofcourse not. i dont do it lightly either. im talking about the clear and open "hey im going to hack the game to mess you over because i like the superiority over you i get" people. ala tarkov, CoD, and many other more popular and accessible shooter games there are out there.
ofcourse gankers here are not hacking or being malicious. they are playing the game as intended. i more speak about those who play purely to be malicious in their play of the game towards other players. im totally cool with gankers in this game. your playing with in the games set rules of how things are supposed to be.
lawls. yeah. im just making sure. i dont wanna sound like one of those "hur i hate people who are better at the game then me!" kinda people. skill levels is a real thing and all. and good for that. please more of that. as i said its just one very small group that does things that i dont agree with.
and lawls. will do. im mainly a miner. ill do long runs (weeks at a time) out in a ring mining till either i run out of limpits or ammo for my mining tools or cargo space. then make a return to civilization to drop stuff off. take a look at whats new and then return to monke out in the wilds. lawls. but yeah. if im ever going to take the star destroyer back out to do some hunting or what what not. ill hit ya up.
No offense, but from the log you were fired upon within 42 second of landing (understandable you didn't notice off the bat), 16 seconds later your shields were down, and then you had 50 seconds until you finally took off...
Not trying to be mean, but....
Edit : I understand it's a bug but a minute without realizing you are being fired upon seems like a long time

There's a bug where some Odyssey settlements have landing pads that are in trespass zone. You might land, but after a while settlement defences get aggrivated, open fire and you take damage even if you're on the landing pad.
Happened to me once, barely managed to sell cargo, take off and escape.

yeah. i see how that can be. but as i described as soon as i touch down and get station services to pop up i already click into that and was making my way to the comodities market and was starting to look for my things to sell and doing restocks of ammo. my face was burried deep into the menus so i did not notice it till my ship starting sparking and smoke piling up in the cockpit which, correct me if im wrong, starts to happen when your pretty critically low on health. as i said by the time i jumped out of the menus. i saw a turret blasting me. seen dozens of hits on my little holograph of my ship on the dash. then saw my health and was dead. yeah from the log sure looks like a long time, but im expecting no trouble upon me and zooming into menus so i can sell my wares. restock on ammo and limpits and head back off into the rings to mine.
funny you mention that. i have a corvette i call the star destroyer for combat. i thought about bringing it out. but i figured id temper my reactions. for now
One last point, you said you were in a Cutter. Did you manually land or auto land?
Reason I ask is that the DC on the Cutter doesn't bring it in correctly & it usually overshoots the hanger on approach & has to reverse back.
Maybe it clipped something
Does sound like a bug though & who knows what sets the little buggers off!
Hope you get your stuff back from CS.....don't forget to include that log file as your evidence

i auto landed. but i never let auto anything just take control and fully trust it. ive had a few times where auto chips had screwed me over. so i always watch and am ready to jump in and take control if they do over shoot or start to get me in trouble. though in this incident it was pretty flawless of a landing. came in hovered over top of the pad. did an about face to face the right direction and landed successfully.One last point, you said you were in a Cutter.

I'v never trusted the DC, even though I use it all the time....always ready to take over.
But the landing of a Cutter using a DC is not right atm & it overcompensates the approach to the landing pad & has to back up.
OP landed at an Odyssey settlement not at a station/planetary port.
Ships landed at such settlements (no hangars whatsoever) are vulnerable to attack and can be easily destroyed by a bunch of Scavs. Or by settlement defenses
But yea, it does look like a bug.
@ThatOneShep better contact support at https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us nicely and politely describe the issue, eventually attach the log too
They should restore your ship.
Hopefully the response times are not too big.
Ah, that would explain the vulnerability.
Could also explain the attack after being landed...if the ship had a bounty or contraband and was scanned while on the surface.
I don't think those events are in the journal.
I skimmed a few of mine and there is often nothing listed for reason for being attacked, even when I know exactly what my CMDR did to provoke the attack. Yesterday, I go caught stealing something, failing a mission, turning the settlement hostile, then fighting my way out of the base...and the only thing in the Journal at the relevant timestamps was:
{ "timestamp":"2021-12-19T16:05:02Z", "event":"Music", "MusicTrack":"OnFoot" }
{ "timestamp":"2021-12-19T16:19:35Z", "event":"UnderAttack", "Target":"You" }
The Journal says nothing about anything I did until I started getting shot, but I spent fifteen minutes scouting around, duplicating credentials, and trespassing before I was caught trying to reach the mission objective. The Journal recorded none of that.
The OP's case might not have been a bug, but we can't tell from the Journal file.

When you go to a settlement and it seems to be dark (no lights on), it’s offline (possibly down to a BGS state) and you may get attacked by Scavengers etc.
It’s easier to tell this if the settlement is on the dark side of the planet as you approach.
