Exploration: It should work like rare trades, the further you move away from civilized space the more info costs, say every 100ly plus 1% of base pay, this would drive people to go further, and also eventually very profitable if you can make it back, Risk vs Reward?
Bounty Hunting: Could be based on your rebuy cost, so flying a bigger ship is worth it, something like
10% of rebuy cost plus minus 50%
Contraband: It should cost far more not less than what it actually costs in the stations that it's not sold or are illegal, demand and supply.
Obviously, these numbers are just to make it easy to understand, and I am not saying that's the solution, but it could be a solution for now, because as it stands right now, trading is the best way to make money and Braben himself stated that he doesn't want one way to be the best way.
