Heya,
Not sure if anyone would agree but I find Warpstations to be rather easy escape points...
I remember from Freelancer that when you wanted to use the warp station you would be put in a queue and once it would be your turn you would align your ship and then warp.
I also feel that warping backwards is a bit meh :P
Is it maybe an idea to do something similar to the spacestation docking?
There is a delay and jump animation which prevents you from simply escaping, I have been warping and a couple of pirates jumped out and started attacking me before I ended up jumped away.
