It would be really useful if like pirate stations can send out an SOS signal, for you to be able to get a special module in your ship that would allow for you to send out an SOS signal to any ships in the near by sectors (or in the sector you are in). The SOS signal would probably look something like the messages look like when you get hailed by NPC factions. And you could also have it so that stations would be able to send out SOS signals. Because if NPC factions are able send out signals from stations, then so should you.

I like it!
On top of the use to multiplayer -- This could also be a springboard for future AI factions - a player sending a distress call might get an eventual response from a military/police-keeping/mercenary guild type of force ... this could also be a beneficial thing to make life slightly less daunting on a beginning player trying to start a first space station only to get sieged by pirates prior to setting up any real kind of defense.

You should have the option to make it public, or only send it to selected factions.
Would be kind of bad to send a distress call to all your enemies

oh yeah this would be great! and also to make it not abusable - have it that if you call out sos and no pirates are there when the trading guild warps in - they shoot you!
