Banning for bad game behaviour (not actual bad behaviour (swearing/harrassing), that should be bannable) should really be the last tool to be used to correct an issue. It is the very last defence of game rules. Allowing players to choose whether or not to leave there battle instance open should be the first thing to try and correct this problem. If that somehow doesn't work, and all other methods fail, bring out the Ban-Hammer. It should not be the go-to response if something doesn't quite work as intended. Hopefully, this being a temporary fix, a better one is being worked on as we speak.

I've got to say, banning is a step in the wrong direction. Have a 3 strikes system or something, but not an outright ban if they capture one ship. There is too much room for abuse of the system, unless the devs can re-watch the battle and decide who was in the right, but that could get very time consuming. If someone is repeatedly stealing other people's capture targets, then fine, ban them, but everyone should have more than one chance.
