A new Elite Dangerous player encountered a mission that required visiting a settlement terminal but was immediately flagged as trespassing upon landing. This triggered relentless drone attacks, resulting in the player's death and respawn in a prison station without credits or a ship. Unable to locate the mission terminal or escape the hostile zone, the player was effectively trapped, highlighting significant challenges in mission design and player onboarding. This incident underscores the risk of severe penalties for new players entering hostile areas without clear warnings or guidance, impacting progression and overall experience.
