Some people dont 'get' it.

A player like that would be considered mad in the real world and would have to receive treatment and a straightjacket.

I have watched several video's like that myself. It is one of the reasons that I am more and more leaning towards single player. Ridiculous, and in my opinion childish, behavior like that destroys immersion.
I also think perhaps in iron man mode players might be more careful.

This is a fair point. Psychotic people don't have their guns taken away from them, get a fine and then given the freedom to go about their business.

They get locked up. Indefinitely.

But that's real life. In ED, they will hopefully be exiled - with lethal retaliation to enforce this exile - from whatever jurisdiction they commit repeated violence in. It amounts to the same result as real life, only they get to be psychotic where no laws exist.

If that's how it works in ED, it's perfectly fine. And satisfies your issue.

it was just attack attack attack and move from one target(victim?) to the next as fast as possible. Now I'm probably going to get a heap of flak for this but in my opinion this guy simple doesn't 'get' Elite.

There goal is it to destroy the game for any other player. You won´t get that out of some people. Only sollution: put them on your ignore list.

If ED implements the rep system which tracks everything, it'd be easy to pick out the accumulating mindless kills and implement appropriate bounties for player bounty hunters and NPC response. Bounties and responses will scale up and once past a threshold a Galaxy wide alert will be placed. Super high bounty for players to hunt and kill him.

And on the NPC side, all police, SA, military, including pirates will also hunt for said offender with extreme prejudice. After all, he is psycho and kills without reason. Every time the offender logs in, he will be hunted down. He will be so busy getting attacked he won't have time to kill others. The reputation decays with time, so he'd have to lay off and cool off or just log in and get wiped every time till he gets sick of it and leave for another game.
