General Change the BLOCK for players.

If they're all instanced, they're in the same instance until someone re-instances. AFAIK, block works on the instance matchmaking, and not within the same instance. So in your example, I'm not sure that'd work unless they literally flew so far away to de-instance. If they had left the shared P1/P2 instance and had been blocked whilst out of that...they wouldn't re-instance with those players.

Player 3 literally flew far away but without going into hyperspace...although we haven't seen it on our radars.
As shown by a recent problem in the mining field, the distance to move away is approximately 26 km. Am I right?

I have no idea - I have never been in a mining field. If they had de-instanced with you though, and during that de-instance been blocked by one of you, and they weren't on either of your friends lists - then the block should have prevent re-instancing with your wing.

If player 1 and 2 are at the station and player 3 arrives at the same station, but player 3 is blocked from player 2, what will happen? Who will be visible to whom and Vice versa? This is just interesting to me, please tell me.

If blocked prior to entering that instance, player 3 normally enters into a different instance altogether from 1 & 2.
3 can neither see or interact with 1 & 2, or be seen by them.

Funny, why puzzles?))) I will try to create the same situation in the game again tomorrow and see. only a third player will be needed, a stranger. But we'll figure something out.

The matchmaking system in Elite seems fairly complicated at times with how things are weighted regarding who instances with who. Weird stuff is going to happen from time to time. If you can reliably recreate, definitely submit a bug report.

Here above described that the block is only needed from spammers in the chat ! That's what I write about.
Any other real block greatly impairs the open mode, and locking in general is not a game moment.

Why, for example, for a lock place not to make his weapons and ram can not harm YOU ? This is crazy and very bad. So blocking is just as bad just doesn't let you see it.

Easy way of not getting blocked, don't do what others would consider as rude, irritating, immersion breaking. Yes, that of course does pretty much include certain gameplay style. You know, ganking...
