Trader & pirate versions of ships (such as the Python & Cobra Mk.III) exist as different hulls even though they share the same shape data; therefore it would not be difficult to add unique ship designs for pirates -- I would put a "skull & cross-bones" on the bottom of them via an upside-down triangle and two crossed lines.
I was very surprised to find that the game actually does contain rock hermits! The problem is that they look exactly like regular asteroids! A new shape would be desirable, with a slot for docking (#38).
