It might just be that it is only useful for those doing that mission, but I imagine it is a standard option for that certain type of ship. That would explain why people who don't do the mission can accomplish the docking of it. Just a thought anyway.

When I tried this a couple times, the warning beep that occurs when youfire ona friendly ship or on someone else's mission, did not happen at all. I'm sure of this as it was a tier three freighter and took me a while to disable. I would have heard a beep in the time it took.
There are random spawns in space, just like on the ground.
So /bump again in the hopes we get an official response.

They may have note messed it up, wouldn't you notice if the game beeped at you as you fire on a freighter?

Cargo currently has no place in inventory. I and a Master Smuggler both hijacked some cargo for RP purposes, but didn't receive any inventory for it.
The devs might someday give the ships their own cargo hold and allow for trading between stations. It would put another facet on the game dynamic.

Has anyone tried to group with a friend who has a yaught.
Have the yaught dock after the other ship disables it. Since these can hold items, it might work.

Even if you are grouped up with someone with a mission where you have to dock with a ship, only the person that took the mission can get anything from docking.
