I would like to see "piracy" expanded to the ability to take over someone's ship and keep it for yourself. Perhaps add drones that have "boarding" values from light to heavy that you would assault a ship with once it's shields are down. ( they would have to be deployed and given the attack command so they would go in as soon as there was a 0 shield level) The defender could have low slots dedicated to defensive units to stop the boarding action. The resolution of the boarding action would be determined by a comparison of the boarding and defense values of the unit's involved. Ex- 2 med pirate drones each with a boarding value of 2 (total 4) attack a ship with one elite defense module with a value of 3. The boarding party wins, (with one drone destroyed and one 1/2 damaged), and the ship pilot is ejected in his pod. If defense wins, (ties go to defender), the drones are destroyed. You would then have to repair the module/drone to replace lost "troops" and regain it's full value. The values could also be subject to a leadership modifier based on the characters skill level, like 1 for each level. So even a ship that has no defense modules would have a natural defense level based on the ship commander. This would also go along with the ship towing skill tree I saw in another thread to get your new prize home.

Actually, you can board a ship with your pod, but this ship has to be abandonned or the pilot has to be logged off.
Of course ...  ... stealing a battleship with your pod is hasardous

Hey nice idea, but only should be randomized aswell so it means just having more drones shouldn't allways mena hey the attacker or defender wins.
also abit on strategy should be involved etc.
But it should also be possible to hand over a ship.
like you use your escape pod the ship stays in taked and the one that takes it over needs to haul it back to station. or to nearest Planet, park it come back with a vessel (something between pod and shuttle) and come board the ship to take back at his Station.
Make it more interesting and would also stop this sometimes sensless podding, which can realy take the fun out of the game if you are not in to the fighting stuff.
But Piracy cool aspect of game. Needs abit more ballancsing though.

Mmmmm...nice idea you've got there Arkasha. What perhaps could add even more depth to the whole boarding idea,was the possibility to tow abandoned ships or damaged ships (lost in battle and not completely destroyed), with some sort of tractor beam. Or even better, if a couple of corp members could travel in the same ship (perhaps even getting an added bonus to flying and shooting skill), and then when reaching an abandoned ship one of them could exit the ship and board the other...oh so many possibilities :)

Take care,
