Understanding Rescue Ship landing pads

I've noticed that if someone is on the large landing pad at Tarach Tor, or even if they are in the hangar, nobody else with a large ship can deliver refugees there. I usually don't see other human players in the game but today I saw a few and it occurred to me that I've outfitted my ship at Tarach Tor and who knows how long I've sat in the hangar doing that, denying everyone else access to the ship without even knowing it. It would be nice if the game gave you some reminder about that, especially since if you block a station entrance for more than a few seconds all hell breaks loose and you're lucky to get out alive.

If someone tries to log in to the game and the hanger/pad they're at is blocked by another ship, what happens?

If someone logs in on a rescue ship they'll always get an instance with a free pad. That may mean they see no other players in that instance despite being in open.

And yes, the mega ships are awful for pad availability. Bad on the rescue ships and when they're used for CGs. Ends up just driving people to solo just to get a pad which is sub par gameplay. FDev please install more large pads on megaships! If we have 8 on our carriers why do megaships only have one?
