Pirate attacks gets more difficult as you progress up with the level you are on as well as your ship's attack capabilities. I have found the easiest way to obtain gole medal with survivor after having reached level 20 is to unequip shields and armour and no ketar repair bot (leaving hull bar visible as the end result that will not fill itself up whilst you're outside the base) at a secure system (terran based and right in the middle), crash into a few asteroids deliberately just to lower the hull. I then make sure that I am very close to the station, I then kill one of the station's guard which will force others to attack me. I get them to hit me only once before I either put cloak on and/or boost back into the station. This method does take a bit of practise but that is what backups of the game state via saves are for. Ideally with this method you will need cloak and boost equipped (in my case I used Yin Co. shadow ninja* and Me'al). It is not a good idea to do this at a system where you know pirates will attack and/or when your reputation at that faction is heavily disfavoured. You can also probably use this method when you are doing a freelance mission that involves taking down a spy on the same station as where the mission is being offered. Obviously you will need to accept the mission first prior to doing it but at least once you did take down the informer and rushed back into the station with literally very little hull left, you will still get a nice reward after paying bribe fee just to dock. Doing it as a mission can potentially prevent lirate attacks when you're trying to locate and take down the informer. Last but not least this technique would probably work best if you are on a very high level, as paying bribe fee would almost be worth nothing.
