I've been using Nav Beacons as a great way to rank up in Combat status, make some cash and improve relations with the faction that owns the system you're fighting in (cleaning up the space ways!). This is a lot of fun and has made me mucho diniro
.
One thing that seems a bit odd though is the way security vessels act. Even if you do not attack them (either accidentally or on purpose) they eventually turn hostile and start to attack you. I can understand this if you are wanted or have illegal cargo but it's happened to me every time I'm in a Nav Beacon instance. I'm now friendly with the Federation but even they eventually turn hostile and start to attack instead of helping out with the fights.
. The biggest problem with this is you cannot fight back without getting a fine and a hit on your rep with the faction 
I wonder if they're simply getting bored and want a challenging fight :S. I would like to suggest that they are made to act responsibly and not pick fights with law abiding citizens. Who's with me?
