First, blast the crap out of him for daring to mess with you... Kinda Evil.
Second, capture him and sell him as a slave... Most Assuredly Evil.
There should be a 'good aligned' thing to do with them. For instance, pick them up and turn them into the authorities. Or, if you're benevolent, just turn em loose at the next station.
It would also give a new use for the oft neglected TPs... If you come across a pirate smuggling slaves, you can gun him down, and pick up the slaves. Then you can free them at the next station you come across. (For a significant Rep Bonus!)
Say some station is being destroyed, and once it goes down all the personel eject. If you were a decent person, you could fly around collect ing the escape pods, and drop them off at another station. Or you could even turn em into slaves.
It might make the game slightly more immersive. It's kind of a pain always having to let the "Astronaut" fly back to the station
.
