See LucasArt's X-Wing v. Tie Fighter. Outright kills (all damage upon victim inflicted by player) is assigned as per usual. Assists are any kills where the player has inflicted at least a third. Three kills and 7 assists is show as 3(7). Yes, it does mean there is a chance of more assists than actual kills but it does work well, imho.
