black screen and 'can't dock here' message on log-in

Aug 12, 2004 RelayeR link
I logged off in Cantos f3 this morning after docking in the station. this afternoon, I logged in and got a black screen and chat. The chat message was "You are not allowed to dock at this station".

Logoff/on did not change anything.

bug report submitted
still stuck there

It has been suggested that there may be a problem with my db numbers or standings. That may account for the message about docking there but would it cause the screen to be black (no station graphics because I'm not allowed to enter the station and no outside graphics because I AM in the station)??

Well, lesson learned by me:
I thought the game was changed to allow missions to continue if you log off. WRONG!!
Anyway, being borderline dislike, I was allowed to station in Itani space but, when I logged off, I lost the Itani mission and lost standing. BOOM!!!
I was now hated and not allowed to dock or even enter Itani space. The server could not handle the dilema.

Heh, that might just make it into the game as a new feature. Perhaps if you are, say, under -550 with a faction and you LOOSE standing with them between dockings (but nmot enough standing to be less than -600)you could be arrested and another player would have to come bail you out of jail. :)
