Yeah, a lot of things you are remembering are from the HVS MBBS game. There are still a few of those running today.
I haven't tested the limit to how long you can sit in a "Red ISS", I've even seen some players actually warp them home successfully then transport. But whenever I've tried, they podded me.
I don't think you can pin the Feds down any more either.

I had been messing around on the game on my server and upgraded ports enough to have experience and alignment of a few thousand each. I put myself in a Starship, made my alignment negative, and as far as I can tell, each time that you move, there is a chance that the Federals will hit your ship with 2.5x your maximum fighters. Sometimes, my ship was destroyed upon log-in, one time I warped twenty-five times before losing my ship, but several times it happened after about six movements.
I had set the ISS as its own escape pod, but that did not seem to work very well, so I cloned the Scout Marauder into an ISS, so most of the times that the Federals destroyed my ship, it was technically a Scout.
I just could not install escape pods. I stopped when my alignment reached zero.
Do you want me to set my alignment to -4,500,000 and write a script to log in, move around, and keep track of how many warps I make before I lose my ship?
How would we determine the chance of being podded from that?
