I don't see how FDev can. The Elite client (by the look of it) seems to log the damage rather than the server (because it's p2p instances). So if MrTroll pulls the ethernet cable, ends the client task etc they get away scott free. It sucks, but that's what some people do.
As said chaff is that effective and you can have so many launchers on the big ships it's possible to lock down a station for a good half hour or so with little anyone can do. Should someone return fire on them, the station has a go at them as well!
Best way I can see to stop it is to force hard point retraction on entering the toaster rack.
So what jump range does it supposedly give you for a Class 4 B FSD drive ?
You also want want to look at upgrading other items like basic scanner, life support to class 3 or 4 D - these are the lightweight versions of components that will reduce your mass.
This is how im currently outfitted, i know i know its not safe, but i wanted to keep maximum jump range and try and keep the money coming in quickly!
Weapon systems need to be disabled at 10k out. Internal will do nothing but force them to hang just outside. If they want the person they need to find there wake and interdict them.
Shooting people as per station and hacking at a station deserves nothing more than a 100% complete ban. FD need to be ruthless on this. If they wish to continue then let them waste another £30 or so.
Do you have enough spare power to run the better FSD? Upgrade your Power Plant to a 4A, and then the FSD to a 4A as well. That should get you to around 20LY fully laden (depending on what else you have equipped).
As mentioned, replaced all the class E stuff with class D as it's lighter and will help increase your range. Avoid the class B stuff as it's super heavy compared to everything else.
4C FSD Mass: 10.0
4B FSD Mass: 16.0
4A FSD Mass: 10.0
Edit: Ah yeah - your power plant is not up to the job. You have a 2C fitted for some reason. Your Cobra should have come with a 4E, so you must have downgraded it for some reason and that's really going to hurt the upgrades you can run. A 4D power plant is around 60K, so you can fit one of those first and then you'll be able to get a better FSD.

See I don't like station grief, but don't agree with this. I've been in situations where I've wanted to scan someone that's flying into a station to check a bounty (pretending to be a normal security scan) and disabling weapons 10km out would stop me doing this. Also, I've killed 'marks' inside the security zone before now because the fine for opening fire in the station system is outweighed by the bounty the mark carries. So again, I don't like the idea of that.
Forcing them outside isn't really a bad thing, there's plenty of security vessels outside, as well as the station defences, so between that lot even a chaff/SCB spamming Anaconda is going to have a hard time.
Change sensors, life support and and thrusters to "D" rated, to get the max range, to get even more range - upgrade the FSD, but you'll need more money
Ill make more monies
Ok im on it
Cheers
Oh come now brethren. You would help me if you saw me stuck in space without any gas.
Here is a new one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=matpIgTWBE8 I get chased through two systems and I logoffski at the end of the video. Maybe you can try to use it for reporting purposes.

Now the server has "combat logged"!
Have just been dumped mid-flight-shift to login screen and can't reconnect.
Edit: Now I get "unable to retrieve Commander data from the server"
Looking good for the weekend then!!
Edit: Now my account is not available. Reading the 1.1.04 notes looks like they've made things worse with this release. Who the hell does a release on a Friday afternoon? I think FD are getting out of their depth with the MMO side of this game.
