What do you do when another player turns up in your home system?

If I'm in my private group, I say, "Hi...how're doing!" If I'm playing solo and someone suddenly appeared, I'd say, "How the heck did you get into my game????? You one of those internet gurus or something?" Seriously, there does appear to be a need for some work to improve player interactions through chat etc. Sounds to me like you've got some good ideas on where to proceed. When Wings comes out, that might open up more possibilities for you.

They were in a well armed trading Type-7 vs my brand new trading Python (was in Clipper last time we meet). Good chance they have a combat Viper hidden away as well or could even be in a Python next time I see them. They were making good money yesterday, easy 3 Million CR / hour in a Type-7.
All out war could be fun, but then home might never be the same again.

I think the issue here is that the OP wants the 'visitor' to stop messing with the system. Passive responses are not going to achieve this goal.
.
Unfortunately with FD taking the decision to share the economy model across Solo, Private and Open play anyone can trade anywhere and no player/blockade can do anything about it.
.
Personally I would prefer a solution whereby if a player can have an affect on my game then I can 'choose' to have an affect on his too
Of course if he comes back with all his mates then I have brought it upon myself!

Well if the OP was actually up for aggro, he'd have done it by now rather than soul searching on the forum...
Otherwise I'd have just said "let loose the Pythons of war!!!!"
Explain to me again how you came to own this system and stake out the bit you call "my territory"?
You sir, have a decidedly bizarre and freshly creative point of view. Rep +1.
I don't claim to own the system, but it been the first place I settled in after launch and having spent much time here it is the place I call home that I always come back to.
Since launch I have only seen 4 other cmdr's pass though the area, I've been alone out here for so long I now feel quite territorial when another Cmdr turns up. Not saying I wish they never came, to be honest it's added a interesting new dynamic to my game.

Seriously though, if you jump into a system and try to send a message it takes too long to do the steps to send it.
1. You send a message, it gets to them as they drop to a station.
2. You send a message as they jump out of a station.
3. You send a message in a combat zone and they die trying to respond.
4. You try to send a message in a combat zone and die while trying to send it.
5. You send a message to someone with a rift...

He was the first player to come to the system repeatedly.
To answer the thread question:
I assess my risk of bringing the player's attention to me:
- Is dude in a smaller ship than mine? Say "Greetings Cmdr" as gesture of saying I'm cool don't worry about me.
- Is dude in a bigger ship than mine? Say nothing and hope they don't notice me on their radar and keep my distance from them.
If a player enters the area of space where I am hunting for bounties, I will put full pips to shields and ram them till they either explode or take the hint. I am the Sovereign of my space
Commander, you know what you have to do.
Take him/her out of the equation with extreme prejudice, and keeping hitting them until they get the message and leave the system (or have no insurance money left). There are 400 billion systems out there, so why has this cmdr decided to set up shop in your backyard.
The only mistake you've made so far is allowing him to settle in and build up rep with the local factions. He'll probably invite his friends around for a party and destroy the trade in the area. Strike now while the iron hot, and save enough for paying off your bounty. The trade war has already started, it's time to get serious and fast
Care to explain the details of this?
Wow. Mr. Life-of-the-Party.
I usually hail them and say "Greetings Pilot" or "Safe Travels"
Sometimes they respond in same but mostly ignore me. Never do they ask "How are you" or "What's happening around here?"
Kind of sad coming from Jumpgate and Freelancer where there was Waay more interaction among pilots.
Home system, pfft. Home is where I park when I log off. Just keep flying and exploring.
And a friendly Good Day Cmdr never goes amiss, not that anyone has ever replied!
