If you have NPC ships stuck in geometry, such as stations or asteroids and they can't get free, try leaving the sector for a few moments.
Once you're in a different sector the npc ships should be able to get free (out of sector ships have simplified flight calculations and disabled collision detection).

It's not optimal (ships shouldn't get stuck in geometry in the first place) and doesn't work all the time, but it's a simple workaround that's worth trying. :)

One fix I've found with this is to teleport to the affected ship (assuming you have teleporter research finished) set guidance for somewhere else in the sector, and then activate the autopilot (shift +a by default) and the autopilot will take you out of the asteroid without issue. (It's a PITA sure, but it's one of the best workarounds I've found if leaving the sector doesn't get the NPC's unstuck)

I really hope so it's one off the worst bugs for me, especially if you let an other guy fly and then he rides you into an asteroid.. and you can't get out anymore and you didn't save.... :roll:
