Here's a starting point. It would be great to adapt this to our own Universe and therefore establish a code and even language to live by in Elite Dangerous. Anyone who doesn't follow the code isn't a pirate but a cutthroat murderer. Honour amongst thieves as they say.

A Pirate may not fire upon a CMDR immediately on encounter
A Pirate must initiate comms with the opening line "Arrr...what ye be haulin'" (clearly needs work lol)
A Pirate must allow for three attempted comms exchanges where there is no reply met. On the third attempt a single warning shot against the ship is permitted.
If after all three attempts to initiate comms with the target have failed, a pirate may engage the target with the intention of forcing a cargo drop, not destruction.
A Pirate must carry a Cargo Scanner and Cargo Hatch Limpet
A Pirate must wear the pirate faction paint job (where available) or a red coloured paint job
A Pirate should use the approved pirate lingo to remain in character (optional)
