Ramming is not only an issue in this particular incident, but is problematic outside stations as well.
Unless it has been fixed recently, in open space, I can ram another ship to the point of taking their shields down without becoming hostile/wanted. If this isn't an attack, then what is?
I don't do this as a habit, not "realistic" to take advantage of a failed mechanism, but others may do so.
This is another one of those tricky conditions FD needs to balance.
Make station defenses so draconian that everyone is fearful to make a simple landing if they deviate from a flight envelope or, make it that the station takes over flight control upon entering the no-fire zone, landing is requested and pilots all craft in for landing w/o CMNDR being able to input changes (smuggling takes a hit and we all know the shortcomings of a DC).
Something to think about.
Also, the protected anonymity of known criminals by the game needs some attention, just my opinion.
