What surprised me about the first case, is that I've noticed that the more far the ship is, the more it glitches graphically, the polygons of the mesh were like shaking and getting out of place when I logged into that ship.
In the second case, I don't know how did the person manage his way into the Dyson Sphere... but also how come could the ship respawn at Planet Malta - Omicron Alpha, as the Outcast reps for that ship were fully red.
It was so extremely weird that I even found it entertaining, so...
