Well, never mind my statement of not getting griefed around a station.  Apparently a player Commander Spindal managed to take me out while INSIDE Azeban station.  I don't quite know how he accomplished that, but that wiped out quite a bit of progress for the evening.

What would he gain by doing that? It's a crime that ultimately probably led to his destruction from the local law enforcement response and what would he gain from killing you? Unless you had a large bounty on your head...

I don't even know.  My bounty status was clean, and I can only imagine he died not long after I did.  Perhaps he was enticed by my low hull status from getting jumped by an NPC on my way in.

Perhaps it was just good old fashioned griefing.  I didn't even have any cargo.  I would've responded, but I thought the station had bugged somehow and was attacking me.  My surprise as he whizzed by me INSIDE the station right as I died.

Is anybody operating out of any station other than Azeban City? I find Azeban City to be getting old.  Not a lot of options in terms of outfitting your ship. No missile launchers, no cannons, etc. I;ve heard talk about I Boote, but that place is really damn far away. Anything else, closer to Eranin territory?

Isn' I boote right next to Eranin? The dock 'Chango Dock' has more ships and as i remember more weapons. Will check it asap.

There are a lot of different weapons. And I Boote is around the same number of ly as Eranin 2. I'm pretty sure you can find some cool weapons there. And its very peaceful around Chango Dock   :)

I'll try to find Chango. Next time I boot up.

I was unable to reach I boote from Eranin 2. I did not have enough fuel. Perhaps I was depleted from having come from Azeban...I'll try that again too.

Question...I've killed about 200 federal fighters in the distress zone...If I fly into federal space, will I be marked as an enemy and hunted?

You're always marked, JH!  ;D

After my bizzare death last night, costing me quite a bit of cash in Pirate bounties, I did a little digging on the Elite forums.  Apparently lying in wait right outside a busy station and blasting damaged ships as they're slowing down and making entry through the hangar is a thing.  I'm apparently not the only one this has happened to.  Supposedly this is being done because it makes for quick and easy targets.  No real benefit to the people doing it, it's just to grief.  They're using starter ships and tend to just respawn and repeat.

I guess to be better safe than sorry, if there are player ships loitering in weapons range the entry to the station, one should use horizontal thrusters right after entering the slot so there's no clear line of fire.

That can happen even if the player is playing a strictly SP game?

No.  That's only something to worry about in Open Play. 

Right now the police response in a station's no fire zone isn't quite fast enough to keep griefers at bay, especially if they catch you right in the slot and already damaged.

will you not be partaking of the MP Gus?

Gusington

I generally don't like MP because I hate most people and shenanigans as described above. If that sort of thing is eliminated then I'll try it.

This is why I'm trying MP in the Beta.  I'm leaning heavily towards SP only once Gamma launches.
