"Can I haz your stuff" is pretty much a standard meme seen across most MMO style games when someone posts about leaving the game. Should really not be taken too seriously..
There lots of caveats like this in the game, and the game is brutal for beginners.
For this particular scenario, most players carry a spare compacted ship (Alt+B) in their inventory at all times. Something you don't have resources for yet, and one of those you have to get burned before you learn experiences.
So if you find yourself close to District 6 on Alioth, contact me and I will give you a good flyer for compactification.
