The rest makes some sense (except the grouped with a cap ship thing). This I don't like. I can't believe that you just up and try to kill fighters that try to pirate you. No words? At least say, "Try and take it, pirate scum!" often its impossible for a pirate in a fighter to do anything but sit still when typing, and just shooting them while they're in the middle of a sentence isn't cool... Or would you rather people pirate in gunboats all the time?
It's already hard enough as it is, transports being the nearly unbeatable fortresses that they are... Even some gunboats have trouble. Sometimes I HAVE to let my prey get away or say "Two million or die." There's no TIME to say anything else. I WANT to say, "You have been Hacked! Cut your engines and prepare you penance to the Lane Hackers. For your assistance in the further corruption of the Libertonian kleptocracy, you will surrender <insert amount> credits or be molecularly disseminated!" However, when under fire from a battlecruiser that decides to show up right as I stop the guy... I have to be quick, ya know? I've had this happen, I got the guy to nearly dead, and he still wouldn't pay (I gave him a last chance!). You know what I did? Finished him off and ran from the BC with a simple maneuver to get out of range of his CD's.
In any case, you know how long it takes to type that?! o.O
Note: <insert amount> is a variable based on predetermined set of guidelines.
