A small suggestion, getting rid of wanted status and "stolen" goods is currently too easy, there should be hidden pirate asteroid bases hidden in ringed planets, it would also give players an incentive to explore more. At those pirate bases you could buy off your wanted status and sell your "stolen" goods and even do missions of a dubious nature, buy modified equipment for your ship and stuff, it would ad more depth in the game.

Something like the one on the right?

Yes, pirate bases hidden is asteroids would be pretty cool. And they don't seem to be just a pipe dream by some overambitious users, since FD envisioned them in their early concept art as well (see link above for Newsletter #11)
