Nobody wants to mess with your instance but people rightfully put their playtime above anyone else’s playtime. The gankers put their enjoyment ahead of any other players’ considerations and so the people being ganked do the same and do whatever they need to do to ensure they have a good time playing the game they paid for.
If any of that interferes with other players, that’s all on FDEV and their bad design.
Coolers for the gas turbines were made for North Sea waters and the warm stuff out east was causing breakdowns - it got sorted out years ago.Im sure there's a joke there, im just too thick to see it

Its not a bad design, its one of the best ive ever seen regardless of the consequences on other players.
On the forums if i get out of line (frequently) i get a ban by the Mods (frequently)
which is fair enough, in game Fdev gave players the tool to remove unwanted harassment.Call it griefing or whatever but im sure the intention was to protect players from unwanted interactions without having to have in game moderators.
Other games can take ages to report and get folks intent on ruining others fun removed, Block sorts it pretty much straight away.
It works very well.

Imagine if everyone on the forums was a moderator with equal power.
Frontier functionally abdicated their responsibility to enforce their own rules and subleted that enforcement to a bunch of players that are anything but unbiased, impartial, or concerned with the smooth functioning of the game.
The intent is clear, but so is the naivety behind it.

I’m not sure what names are still in use, pinkies, greenies, tas-apes, Wafus, etc.I used to love that the RN still uses old names, my mates a 'Stoker' but there's no coal these days

So as to not be off topic: Down with this sort of thing! Careful now!
Power to the people?
Power, without the responsibility to use it wisely, is not a good thing, certainly not for those it may be used against, or those who have to suffer the fallout of it's abuse. You seem to understand this when you lay responsibility for gankers actions solely on the ganker, but then you completely absolve blockers of the consequences of theirs, and give Frontier (who still ultimately has the power here) a pass for allowing this situation.
I reiterate my point, the consequence of mindless ganking is getting blocked, that's on the ganker, i have no guilt, cause and effect.
O7
So you're not responsible for your actions? Someone else is? The ganker is making you inconvenience unrelated third parties?
I'll also point out, again, that the consequence of literally anything, or nothing, can be getting blocked, and the consequences of blocking extend beyond the target of the block.

I feel like you have conjured a grievance. You want a different reality in-game, and attempt to justify that reality by waving unknown, but 'obvious' game design, rules around. All of this was settled in antiquity between the Devs and the Backers, in a laborious process. I would point out the success of the game, so far, as an ample counter-argument to your criticism.
There was a flaw in the ship that if the water was too hot it made the intercoolers malfunction- so if the ship did indeed get into hot water in hot water it would very much be in hot, hot water.Im sure there's a joke there, im just too thick to see it

That people will abuse the power they have over others, if they're not held accountable for the power they wield, is less of a game design rule and more 'sociology 101'. It's ubiquitous throughout human history.
Which resulted in a deeply compromised game, essentially from the start.
We seem to have very different opinions about the degree of success this game has enjoyed.
