Maybe they could add proximity warnings. It could be indicators on the HUD, kind of like the directional impacts you get when being shot. They could also use sound warnings, either some alarms or "Proximity Alert!". I think a combination of the two might work, the HUD would tell you how to avoid the collision, the sound would bring immediate attention to it. Both of these would have to be options for players to select, as I can imagine either could get annoying. Maybe have them on as default so new pilots won't miss the option by accident. EDIT: Still won't stop intentional collisions but should at least cut down on accidents.
Nice idea Xepha , maybe tweet it to smed or higby seeing as theyre living on that god awfull site 24/7
