1) No.

2) Well, you could add a set fee to use a specific site. e.g. every entry to the space dock costs 10 credits.

3) maybe through events. can't think of how to tell the pirates yes or no though. what you could do is have a "free passage" item. Buy it and carry it, and the pirates leave you alone. Could also use the status game date event to change the item every so often- so you need to buy another item to pay your "protection money"

4) Fines yes, as a varient on the above idea. Corruption would be harder.
