Some suggested solutions that, again in my opinon, won't work:
1) Bodyguard (droid or PC): A body guard might kill the mob, but there is no mechanism or ability for the guard to intercept the attacks directed to the non-combat toon. In other words, the guard can fling themselves in front of the non-com and 'take a bullet' for him/her. Additionally, being a bodyguard, while nice from the RP perspective, is dead boring. It is difficult to get and keep a bodyguard for lengthy survey runs or harvester runs.
Actually..... there is. Guess who has it? Thats right. Rangers. Its a skill under the trapping tree called "rescue". Hmm.... a ranger can not only camo you to protect you from arggo, but he/she can also "take a bullet" for you. Also, rangers can use traps to literaty hold a creature in one spot. Say there was a lvl 80 MOB 10m from your mineral extractor. Take a ranger along, and 2 p-darts later you can waltz right up and empty your hopper without a care in the world. A rangeras abody guard is starting to look pretty good now isnt it? Dont tell me a 12pt WS selling uber rifles for 3 mill cant afford us.
