AFK on docking pad?

Umm.. i guess cross your fingers and hope someone will free up a space in time.
Other than that..

If they're on the pad out in the open you can shoot at them so they get the hint.
Grab your viper/cobra, fit interdictor + wakeshift scanner. When they come back interdict them and rough them up a bit and tell them why you did it. They'll stop doing it, or drop to solo, or at least avoid the area
This plan seems pretty low on the feasibility spectrum.
Takes some patience but I've done this.
There should be a time limit, but then there should be a que system, E.G:
No one waiting, take all the time you want
People waiting and all pads full, start a timer before you are auto kicked from the landing pad or sent back to the main menu.
Obviously times will need to be adjusted as you need to account for people just checking/cashing in jobs and those (like myself) that trade 100% in game and need to write down/compare prices, but its hardly asking for much.
I'm sure they will fix it, eventually.

Oh, it's doable. But there's a lot of variables. Why not just block them?
Or the simpler way to "fix" it (TBH I don't see this as "broken") - after the said timer expires, automatically "ENTER HANGAR". The pad clears up, you're tucked safely inside the station while still being AFK.
Plus, the code for doing all these is already present. No new code to write.
Except that being in the hangar doesn't currently free up the landing bay.
But being in the hangar doesn't free up the pad for someone else to land on.
Didn't know blocking worked like that... nice. But my solution doesn't involve meta
TBH I probably wouldn't do it again, it took an hour for the guy to undock and I was lucky he did so while I wasn't tabbed out.

No, but mine doesn't involve prolonged high blood pressure and staying mad at someone for an hour
Have good armor and shields...line up with the AFK player on the pad, Set to full speed, then BOOST right into them. Collisions damage is not considered an attack, so you can destroy them with out triggering a bounty. They are dead, you have a pad to land on...assuming you did not did in the collision also. Armor good, more armor is better!
And the added lesson for them, if you AFK get into the station.
