I posted this idea in JTL discussion but not as many people read that forum.
How's about Space Flight Simulators in cantinas. A little arcade hub off in the corner and a scoreboard.
They would be balanced specifically for PVP so regular space combat would be unaffected. And you could enjoy space PVP without getting your ship components damaged.
There could be a ladder ranking system that keepskill counts of players and lists top pilots. Be fun to see your name on a list ranked with all the other pilots.

Place bets on pilots in duels and such. I can imagine itwould be a lot of fun.
I'm a big fan of the Wing Commander series and I'm pretty sure I got the idea from those games. But it seems like a pretty straightforward idea.

Kinda reminds me of Wing Commander, there was alwas a Sim Trainer in the bar in the first Wing Commander, I believe Wing Commander 2 had on in there as well. Wing Commander 3 had a 'semi' mission that took place in one where you and a Test Pilot who ended up sleeping when a battle was going on had it out. I like the idea, maybe even if you could set the duel you want, like up to tier 3 fighters or no Tie's something like that.

Yeeaaah, that would be kickass.
And just melee battles, in "deep space" no astroids, no nebulas, no crap.
All ships of same kindshould have the same equipment.
Could be placed in player cantinas too, so you could challange one in tat cantina from your cantina on dant.
Just a list of whos "playing" and you could challange them for a 1on1 2. XWA style 
It would be damn nice, MORE MINIGAMES in swg. 
Also pazaak and betting on podraces and simular.

Or use the "Arcade" as a short-term trial so people can see the fun (say everyone that flys is an Ace with a tricked out ship of their choice) ... limit the amount of time, and that they don't get any credits/loot. They can just see that it is fun.

I like that idea. Maybe not limit the time using a hardcap but if you made each "play" cost a certain amount of credits per hour, would tic every minute or 5 minutes you would achieve a trial type idea. Give the user Ace of their choice as well as ship and components of their choice. Would be very very nice.

I think it's a great idea, can't do anything but add more character to the game.
