Have a system where the longer you are in it an NPC bounty is placed on you and continues to climb
while at the same time you receive increasing buffs encouraging you to stay in the system
other players can kill you to collect the bounty and you can do the same to them
also make remote reps not work in the system

no it's a bad idea and will be terribly abused very easily

they would just have to put metrics in place to prevent your "bounty" from reaching more then your ships value

most the PVP in low or null is for fun or bragging rights not isk
bounties on players are often a "ohh and he had a bounty as-well awesome" type thing
it would also encourage PVP systems, more old man stars are a good thing

Sounds like a lot of fun, but there's no place for that kind of thing in Eve. Even the current dynamic for PvP, in my opinion, isn't appropriate for the design of the game.

Oh god.

Enters the system in a stealthbomber and cloaks for a month.

Has an alt enter in a catalyst and pops the stealthbomber.

Profit.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

u could go to a WH and have players periodically add to ur bounty and give them increasingly powerful ships to fly.

but if other players dnt want to do this with u, it says a lot about the idea.

meaning, the bounty is never actually worth the effort...
