Drones
You come across a weak looking noob transport. You think, I'll do my pirate thing here.... You shoot at it and suddenly the sky is full of angry bees chasing you off or destroying you.
Basically, these would be ai drones, like an + sign in space targetting enemy ships.
Gravity Traps
You come across a tasty looking undefended base. You fly in, looking for goodies. Suddenly, alarms go off. You can only move very slowly. You need to find the Gravity Plus block and turn it off (if you don't have enough thrust/firepower to esape) before the Big Spider comes to collect. How exciting would that be?
Basically it would work on the principle of
if e=1 and d=1 and loc=xyz then gb =1 and a=1
where e = non faction ship
and d = doors opened and closed
and loc = a certain position is reached
and gb = gravity block activated
and a = alarm activated
...
Another thing we need is weapon limitation. So that if a ship has less than x blocks it can only carry y amount of armanents or at least blocks of armaments.
less than 20 blocks = 1 weapon type (or ten blocks of weapon)
Less than 40 Blocks = 2, or 20, etc.
