Not much distance from Nav Beacon to Station. Was interdicted just when I started to slow down to exit Supercruise. I submitted immediately but was destroyed soon after.
Oh yeah, that's right, it's very close. Again, just entered the system for the first time ever last night (bringing in my first 256t from far away), and haven't left. Makes a lot more sense now.
It probably helps that I never take a direct bead to a station. I literally bend around and change directly 3-4 times heading under (or over) the system, then towards, then corrective along, then away from the planet, when it's a full station. I guess that's why he didn't get a tether on me, despite the clear buzzing I heard.
I didn't even check what he was before, I was focused on getting to the station which was so close to the beacon. I only noted the amber square short after I dropped in (I guess that's when he did too -- if that was the case), and then it go red after I looked to the left panel to request docking, and heard it.
