I'm not sure if that would even work. Had a friend working on capping a trader today, he got up beside to board it before the other two that joined in his battle instance. One did some attempted ramming to move and gave up to join the other player in just attacking the trader ship trying to sink it on him.

PVP rules on a PVE server is a terrible decision. Especialy in situations like this, there is nothing you can do to retaliate when somebody from your own nation can come in and grief you in multiple ways and in the end leave you with repair costs etc while they come out on top with little effort.

So I've noticed a new thing happening on PVE server now. You can be working on capping a trade ship and have a player from your own nation join the battle and cap the ship you were after. They come in smaller more agile ships and wait until you've used grape shot enough that they can defeat the crew then sneak in while you're turning etc and cap the ship. In PVP I would just shoot them and deal with the consequences, but on PVE this should not be allowed when they can "grief" and steal like this with no repercussions. Grinding missions is boring enough and now trying to change it up here and there with capping trade ships is frustrating due to thieves.
