Domedi just died in his BS because somebody was on top of him, we had everybody else occupied but we couldn't do anything about the person on top without killing him. The guy on domedi didn't even get hurt very badly. He would have been perfectly fine had this person not been on top of him.

Actually, Stats are supposed to be playing support role, and you should of grabbed some eads to protect your Stats.

Er.....why are people acting like this is something new all of a sudden? It's been going on since before I started playing, just have an assault ship or two hanging back to lay a beamdown on the camper and it's no big deal.

Because ppl like to cry about something? 
OK, the station CAN move. All he needs to do is to move towards the dread's rear end. Thing is, stats move at 3.x gus these days, so that slows things down. Honestly I don't see this as a problem. If I wuz a defender, I'd take up dread right up there and laser him to pieces.
Anyway, I see this as... population control... Now that stations do have one glaring weakness (actually, it always has), let's see them being spammed.

HAHAH this is seriously a thread?? What's with ugto complaining nowadays??
No, when someone does this your station is not instantly made useless, try again.
I have 3 solutions for you
1. Don't fly a station.
2. Your teammates are dumb enough to shoot at an enemy that's on top of you?? It's common knowledge that if you shoot at someone on top of a station, you'll damage the station instead. Tell them to stop shooting if they can't figure it out!
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

Ever since I got a station in the first place I have flown it the same way always and never had any problems. With somebody on top of me, my teammates can get hammered by this person and pretty much do nothing about it. Flying on top of the person and attacking them (Yes, with beams) still does quite a lot of FF. You say to stay away from the front lines and this won't happen but even one dread jumping out of nowhere into a group of us and sitting on the station can be there for quite a while before having to leave. Also stations (mostly the SS in my case) are very important to have because with UGTO in particular we rep very slow. So instead of having to jump all the way back to a planet in another system they can just jump to the station and be ready to go again.

Beams do not cause FF, unless something was drastically changed with this last update.

Hey... this thread looks vaguely familiar. I posted about this not to long ago myself. Something does indeed need to be done.

Part of the game bud and it works both ways. I have had EAD's sit on top of me before and I can tell you it's not somthing that is very fun. If you consistently see this as a problem, just have an EAD sit on top of you and that person will not want to sit up there anymore.

I have had this happen to me before, it is very easy to deal with. I think the main issue here is people not knowing how to fly stations.

uhm..i dont have a battle station, not enough garage slots...I flew my SS into kaus cause it looked pretty.
i myself have jumped on top of stats to see how long i live...only times i got in trouble was when station moved trough me, mening i had to turn. Or the station immediatly short jump and let his friends mass alpha me.
Just what i wanted to point out in earlier post: most ships on top of stat can deliver a 50% beam alpha where the station can push back with a 20% beam alpha (50% and 20% damage of a normal 50 gu distance beam alpha). So firing from upper to middle axis deals more damage then from middle to upper axis.
Hmm idea: a lot of carriers on top of a station firing at an enemy...fired from upper axis might increase dmg...

It took a while for me to decide whether to laugh or bash my head on my computer desk. In the end laughter won out, because bashing my head on my computer desk is painful.

Planetary Shields? PSM? Missile Frigate? Border Cruiser? ECM? Cloak? AD?
Why no, that's hardly anything.
