While there are many different solutions to this (loss of credits on death in general etc.), I would consider adding a better fining system (such as possibly using a /fine SHIPNAME CREDITS etc.), where house authorities can issue fines to criminals/smugglers, in which the offender must either pay the fine to the authority, or if they attempt to escape and are destroyed, the credits are automatically deducted upon death and given to that said authority.

A easy way to circumvent this is, of course, to limit the fine. Say, five to ten million. That should do.
I like the idea.
Damn, I got ninja'd hardcore.
Possible solution:
This command works only when in scanner range OR - if that's easier to code - inside a 4k range and only when targeted by the police force.
Also, there should be a time limit between two fines, otherwise an abusive player might drop a lot of these fines at the very same person again and again.
