How:

There is a pier on the station (20260506235540_1.jpg) and NPC engineers has route to walk on it, since my vessel was docked NPC made extra steps and walked onto myship (20260506234509_1.jpg, 20260506234521_1.jpg).

When I flew away NPC dropped off and was stuck in space, NPC started spinning (probably attempt at walking back failed),

I pushed him out of safezone and tried to kill/loot with grinder and later with gatling gun, NPC appears to be immortal, after my attempts NPC got some innertion and went flying into deep space while spinning like a wheel.

Please notify me if you need any ditails.

Don't expect too much. They're new. And one of the videos that advertised their introduction already proved this. I don't believe there are any surprises here.

From earlier testing I did at the first day of the update, this seems normal. They should despawn if you're out of range of the station, and spawn when you get in range. They will try to stay on a grid so it's probably a pathing behavior.

This is a clever player causing havoc, preventing all such cases seems to be impossible to me. Outside a safe zone, the options will drastically increase. For instance, someone might build a cage around the NPC to be abducted, then separate the cage from the grid it was built upon and drag it away.

it is incredibly easy to prevent if they wanted but they made it clear that it was a known thing
