Elite: Dangerous story! (thread)
we've just arrived at Felicity Farseer's station, and find out that we need to bring her some metal alloys. no problem. exit hangar, take off... get fired upon.
turn around and try to kill the other player and they pop the hull in a few seconds from I don't even know what weapon.
annoying, but workable. lots of credits to spare for buying back the ship and attempting takeoff again.
...get killed again by the same player.

check chat. turns out the player supposedly wasn't intending to kill and was confused why the ship blew up at 30% hull (idk why either) the first time but the second time was intentional because we fired back. we log off frustrated to wait for them to leave

this happened last night. fortunately it's not much more than an annoyance since the buyback is only 22,000 credits for this ship, but it definitely soured that session
