Assuming that this is not sarcasm, no, shooting people’s spaceships is not griefing in EvE. The whole game is built around shooting people’s spaceships.

It is no different than charging people rent when they land on your Boardwalk in Monopoly. It is no different that capturing someone’s king in Chess. It is a core mechanic of the game.
