Some of these you are most likely already considering.
- Disabling ships, you can destroy them, move on or board. Boarding could be a thorough way of taking cargo be it human or not. AI could surrender.
- A fleet, Flag Ships - that can also dock smaller ships for your fleet. Perhaps these could travel between sectors without using gates.
- Fear system, pirates/other factions may not attack you due to notoriety, flee from a fight etc.
- Escape pods from bigger ships that can be collected for slave trade/hostage taking.
- Dependent on faction, AI use formations. For example pirates might not use formations where as the order use them due to their military background.
- If and when you allow us to land on planets, perhaps we could fly in atmosphere and mine the surface, go to different cities, find secret locations etc.
- Bodies floating in space from battles, or ships you've just destroyed.
Missions:
- Protect special cargo ships. AI can be seen playing security for other cargo ships etc, could work with formations, AI could break off to defend then return to position...
- Mini games on space stations to earn extra cash. Mini games could be influenced by which faction owns the sector.
Last but not least, GalaxyPedia is a working title, hows about OmniPedia, Omnidex, UniPedia, Unidex.
Looking forward to the finished game.
