Shinrarta mailslot crash - and apologies if it was you?

Hi all,
Just a shout out, tonight I 'clipped' something, it spun off into the mailslot side and exploded in Jameson Memorial.
This obviously granted me a Instant Pilots Federation bounty and the station killed me, 100% accident, I took my eyes of the screen for a second to turn around and talk to my 4YO and boom!

I am hoping that it was a NPC coming in underneath me or something of that nature, but as I was playing in Mobius group at the time there was a chance it was a player - I didnt think to try and get any names or screenshots before I respawned.

It was instant, no real bump and grind through the slot, so I am guessing it was a very weak\tiny NPC ship underneath me or something - but just putting this out there to take responsibility and apologize if it was indeed another Mobius player.

If so and you lost your ship - I deeply apologize.

[edit] - I found that I can use ED Discovery to read\search my logs for "commit crime" - it doesn't say whether it was Player or NPC .. but the name was "Name removed as dealt with by admins already", and search on PVP Kill shows nothing? So hoping this means it was actually an NPC.

I was the only other player (not including the griefer) in the instance and you didn't touch my ship. as the new logs clearly show. If you touched a ship it had to be an npc or the griefer. In both case, apologies are definitely not required.

That CMDR name is known right now it seems. See here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6413

Than it might not have been an accident, you actually might have been the victim here.
Note the "if"s here.

Note that the friend list system was extremely heavily failing last night, as I experienced when ratting, with friended players not showing up in the Comms window list. Might well affect display of other players as well, I don't know. Or can a fighter Silent Run?
Whatever, all speculative.

Thanks both , yeah Leo I saw you there in a Beluga was it ? and tried to stay away when I was trying to get killed by the station :P
I had to spawn a sidewinder and get killed to remove the 7 day bounty from the effort by the player in question and its being dealt with by Mobius.
