I was recently doing CTC in gray space and I know the risks! But, I was by a station, and a secro attacked me(i'm itani) and thats cool cause i let him, in the hopes that the station guards would take care of him. Well I stood still too long and he killed me. So i got returned to my home station(the same station i just got killed outside of) and it said that I broke the no fire rule and i was not allowed to dock(even though i bought back my equipment it said this in the little text thing at the top that fades away) So after i bought the equipment back suddenly i was in EO and i look at the map and it has the whole corse set for going back to where i was in gray space??!!?! Why was i penilized when I didnt even attack the person. I think this may be 1 of 2 things or maybe even both.

1. He bumped into my before i died thus causing him damnage making the system think i attacked him, but it had to let me "dock" cause it was my home station but imedityl after that threw me back to the starter system of EO.

2. Same as above but the explosion of my ship caused the damnage

Anybody have any explanation, happen to anyone else before?

most likely #2.

Its unfortunate, on the bright side you lost no standing, maybe you need to dodge a little more effectively when letting someone shoot you.

:)

Yeah, player death-throes can cause damage to their attacker, and that damage can be enough to violate the No-Fire zone.

A good reason to not take just anything, right? :)

Eh, ya, but I still think that is Kinda a bug, oh well.

you're right, it sorta is. strange that the station guards didn't interfere though.

station guards are only so good. I got attacked by two Itani (flying valks) in Bractus C5 within the no-fire zone and the swarm of station guards were absolutely ineffective against them. I ended up fleeing - I probably should just have let myself be killed cuz it ended up happening anyway.

The station guards are currently a component of one of the most broken aspects of VO... namely, the grief-defense and player balance aspect. Losing exp for defending yourself, KoS because you died... all sorts of various wrongness in this area of the game. I think the devs are prolly aware of this, though.
