Here's a bug I've encountered quite a few times mainly when undocking, but I'm not sure how it would be best to fix it:

When you undock whilst merchants are docking, you end up wrestling your way out of the station, which can get quite chaotic when there are a few merchants around.

While not a serious issue, it does kinda break immersion.

The only ways around it I can think of aren't perfect...

You could have a dock/undock queue, but that would leave people waiting, and they could get impatient

Maybe you can disable collisions for ships as they're docking/undocking, but that could lead to weird things happening when the collisions are enabled...
