These are just 2 though which should not cause too much trouble programming.
1) Why dont you place a ranking terminal with prestige points at the starports. That way the prestige points could be a little usefull for those who want to see how they are doing (show the first 100 Pilots of each faction)....
2) You have done a helluva job with those racing parks on the planets.. which IMO where a great idea but if you cannot customize you bike they are really useless.. So: Why dont you do race parks in space, race events... There are so many ships out there and tweaking is so much fun. That would be really a cool think if you implement like flying through protected toruses and stuff like that... I think a lot of pilots would appreciate this.
Again those are just 2 thoughts which could make JTL a little more fun, and the programming shouldn t be too much of effort.

Decent ideas, but the standings should be PvP-based. Prestige doth not a good pilot make - someone could do nothing but pick off rail-running gunboats for the FP and have over 500 million if they had no sense of monotony.
Plus, unless there was some reward, you'd be hard-pressed to see many people fall over themselves for King Pilot position...except lunatics like me, in a bid to feed my insatiable ego.
As for the races, there's a rather interesting bug that'd make that kinda anticlimactic until it was fixed.

well to the first ... i just though there shouldnt be too much programming trouble... just a neat thing to have... i am positive that ppl would be starting to sit in the bud of gunships... but at least we have something to do in space then..
second... what bug... do you mean the rubberbanding in space... yes they sure have to fix that ...

Well, there's no reason you couldn't have both prestige listings and PVP ratings; both are impressive, in their ways.
With prestige, though, it wouldn't be entirely accurate unless it somehow tracked total prestige earned by a given pilot. A lot of us have on multiple occasions dropped tens of millions of pilot prestige when the whim has taken us to switch squads.
