Not much time at the moment so i apologise if this has already been mentioned.
Now that we have RUde/Fair standings etc in space, perhaps a bounty system could be put in place. Allowing shot down players to place a bounty in holding on a pirate through an npc on each planet perhaps. Make it so that only law breakers can be targeted via the planetary npc's and perhaps place a "pirate" npc on the pirate base, or in neutral space stations to put a price on "fair" and more legal space travellers.
To revent obvious abuse make the bounties hidden so that it isn't known a bounty exists on a person by anyone except the bounty financer. That way would be a surprise for a potential victor in a battle.
Just a thought
