A bug - possibly caused by a player firing on the Nevermore—caused the capital ship to return fire, and miss, instead hitting Hudson Dock. The Dock returned fire, the Nevermore returned fire back, and so on and so forth. David Braben denied that it was a bug on twitter and said it was "emergent gameplay". A few CMDRs braved their ships integrity to get close enough for screenshots, but I would love to see a video of the battle!
By the time Core Dynamics (aka Frontier Developments) got the situation under control, the Farragut class ship was down to 26% hull strength and saddled with a 72,000 credit bounty and had earned "Novice" combat status. During this time dozens of people were killed, and hundreds of millions of credits in damages were done to both structures.
Frontier have used this incident as a new Community Goal for players to supply even more metals to the station, this time to repairs both structures! lol
The incident even made the Galnet News. CMDR Sam Ishum has now denied any responsibility for supplying sub-standard materials during the ships construction and directed any comments or complaints to his (CRAP) lawyers.
