This is likely the issue where knocking out the generators or core of a ship but leaving thrusters intact can mean the ship still spins, resulting in ghost blocks that show up as "container" when you point to them and block your entry. It can usually be worked around by attaching your own core and shutting off thrusters, or destroying the thrusters. Once the ship stops it behaves normally. Relogging will also sometimes stop the rotation of the ship, so loading from a savegame may not manifest the bug. As an aside when the ships get in this mode the drone can god-mode through the entire ship at will.
This can easily be reproduced by targeting generators, and only generators, in a CV fight. It you kill all generators before the core, this issue presents itself nearly every time. I still think the simple solution is for the game to automatically turn the thrusters off, on any enemy vessel that loses its generators. The issue is always tied to the thrusters being turned on, in the P menu. I have 100% success in avoiding or fixing this by turning off thrusters. I also never kill an enemy CV by targeting generators. I always core during combat.
Any progress on this? This is easily one of the most frustrating issues with space combat. ...That and the one where sometimes you're firing at a ship which you cannot harm, but which can harm you, I believe because the server actually thinks it is somewhere else, so the server must think your shots are all missing, but all of the other ship's weaponry still hits you. I assume that this one was reported long ago, but I can't seem to find it.
