Elite Dangerous: The Dangers of Landing Outside Designated Shipyard Docks

As I approached the dock in Elite Dangerous, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and adventure. But little did I know, my joy was about to be short-lived. As I parked at Pad 01, I requested docking to the outpost, only to be surprised when they assigned me the same pad – and wanted me for 200cr. It wasn't long before I realized that landing outside the designated shipyard docks can have disastrous consequences.

My ship, the Anaconda, was promptly destroyed by a volley of torpedoes as it tried to fly away. I hit the 'dismiss ship' button as quickly as I could, but it was too late. The city lit up in a violent firework display as gun turrets and torpedo pylons fired at my stationary vessel. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, a curious little sentry slammed itself full throttle on the hull of my ship, destroying itself in the process.

As I dropped into the SRV to get closer to my friend's ship, which had landed nearby, I was struck by the beauty of the scene before me. The soft glow of the skyscrapers and the starry sky of Elli over us took my breath away. But my friend's suggestion that we try landing near the outpost without requesting docking permission proved to be a costly mistake.

The moral of the story is clear: do not land outside the designated shipyard docks of an outpost. The wandering sentries are not your friends, and the consequences can be catastrophic. I lost 18 million credits, my jaw was left wide open in shock, and my Anaconda was reduced to rubble.

So, commanders, heed this warning and fly safe. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when approaching an outpost. And if you do find yourself in a similar situation, don't hesitate to dismiss your ship and escape with your life – or at least, what's left of it.
