Pirating inside station

if case this suggestion is implemented

Pirates docked with the station should be able to jam or intercept part of whole of the transaction, while docked at the station. It would require the transaction to take time depending on how much cargo is to be transferred, the transaction to detected by the pirate with a probability: A mission should be posted to intercept the transaction and new capability of hacking with new stat and xp to be acquired.
Of course if the attempt is detected by the station official, the pirate could have his standing revoked for a period of time and get expelled from the station to be attacked by SF.

You need to be more specific on how this would work. If it's an assigned percentage of probability just because of being docked then -1, if your idea is better than that please expand upon it.

The ability to pirate while sitting afk in a station. I LOVE IT!

If this or any sort of version of this were ever implemented, there would be someone that would create a plugin that would allow them to sit in a station while afk, stealing all items that were up for grabs.

This is beyond a terrible idea...

I would prefer to just let the owner of a station set and collect the fees for in-station trading. That way we don't need to have in-station piracy. We can just conquer the station and then let people pay us to use it for convenient trading.

Of course, that would mean people who don't want me to benefit from their trades would trade at stations they own... and that's fine. Trades inside stations they own should be safe from me, as long as the station itself is not safe.

It's just that right now, only three stations are conquerable at all, and there's no mechanism yet to profit from people doing business at stations you own. But that's a system pretty much everybody wants, and Inc has already said he plans for stuff like that.

Plans are the one thing Inc indisputably does have.
