AI "flying"

Why is the AI so damn terrible at flying around stations? Every one I visit there's at least one - usually 2+ - ships stuck in or around the entryway. My favorite was a Type-7 and a Hauler just sitting in open air about 200m inside the mail slot, touching each other but not going anywhere, just scraping shields.

It's laughable and kinda annoying - is this a WIP issue?
 
Yeah that's kind of been a thing for a very long time, I remember seeing it in the beta. Mind you AI pilot behavior isn't half as bad as it used to be around stations, I remember a time when all you would see at a station was AI pilots spinning around on the spot inside stations, so there's been a drastic improvement since then.
 
Not just around the stations; Once got interdicted by a wanted, shieldless eagle who began cargo-scanning me. While my kill-warrant scan was underway he boost-splattered himself all over my shields even though I was not even moving.

At least you get ships when you're interdicted. I "submit" every time I'm interdicted, hoping for free bounty-money, but 80% of the time there's nothing there.
