Some of this kind of seems far fetched to me, but i will suggest it anyway.
I think we should get paid for player kills. not for just a kill, but if they win a duel. as of right now you get experience for duel rating points and pk's based on a system i don't quite understand, but i think with a little fine tuning, it could be possible. also, lets make a specific sector for pvp. i know b8 is the player claimed sector, but what about a sector with a massive station in it (a dead one of course like the one with the race track) to make pvp a little more fun. i like fighting near roids, so i can imagine what it would be like flying around and through a station (the open part in the middle) doin some pew pew.
the far fetched stuff:
what if in this sector the FF applied to everybody? in other words, you couldn't harm anyone unless you dueled, same faction or not. or something else to ensure a "duel only" atmosphere.
what if the price you are paid depends on the ship you are flying? maybe you could be rewarded with the cost of your ship plus the bonus of the opponents rating?

I would add that sedina is a bit far for some players to travel...perhaps a more central and official dueling ground? Also useable for nation war?

A wormhole from the serco/itani border to sedina might work...

Keep in mind Sedina B-8 arose out of players gathering there, not any top-down development decision.
