Repair facilities have sparked outrage after adding a ten credit surcharge to station fees in protest over accusations of price fixing published by the Pilots Federation.
The contentious report found rampant overcharging among drydocks, and recommended a maximum price for repairs to be enforced.
Any attempt to pay the charge results in another being levied, and local councils have been flooded with messages from exasperated pilots demanding action. Pressure is now growing to avoid a repeat of earlier strikes that resulted in mass biowaste dumping and disruptive system blockades.
"If you want quality workmanship you have to pay for it" said an anonymous worker. "If repair costs are too much, fly something cheaper or stop ramming asteroids. Until this report is dropped, we will keep on charging."
