This proposal suffers from error number 2. You can stop discussing it now. Future proposals should be vary of the above conditions. Reading Comprehension is your friend...
General comprehension is your friend. You do offer a means for trillionaires to **** up someone's life by placing infinite bounties. If you think "awarding 1 bounty at once" or bringing NPC standings/spaces into the picture solves this issue you don't know how Eve works. When someone constantly has bounties on him sooner or later he will be stripped from all her SP, and stop logging in, if the reward is worthy for the hunter. And you want the reward to be worthy.
I advise you to get a broader grip on Eve mechanics and ecosystem before coming up with anymore suggestions to bounty hunting. There is a reason why the system is untouched since forever.

So, you like playing the 'bad guy' with 0 risk? if you have (-) standing, its not because you've been an outstanding citizen.
No, I'd rather playing the bounty hunter in a balanced, well thought system. Unfortunately yours is not.
NPC standings is the worst thing you can tie a bounty system into. Say at some point in my career I did FW. I will have bad standings for the opposing faction. Then I make a nullsec trillionaire lord mad on social media, reddit or forums. He buys a toon with right standings, keeps purchasing LP and places infinite bounties on me. What does my FW career even have to do with this nullsec lord? Nothing. What did this nullsec lord do to benefitr this NPC faction? Nothing. But you just give him means to **** me.
Everyone has that one NPC corp for which they have negative standings. There are a lot of ways you can get - standings for an NPC faction. Why am I a "bad citizen" because I did FW? Why am I a bad citizen because I decline some missions from an NPC corp. I didn't gank anyone? I didn't pirate? Also, there are shitloads of "bad citizens" with +10 security status and all positive NPC standings in this game. NPC standings mean nothing to show who's the bad guy or pirate. They are mostly PvE means to access missions and LP store and earn ISK.
Meanwhile, the real 'victims' often will not have the chance to place bounties, as their gankers will most likely not have negative standings for NPC factions which they have positive standings. So you not only have given nullsec lords means to **** someone's life, but also didn't solve any of their issues as well.
You sound like a perfect hisec carebear mission runner with zero knowledge over anything else in this game. You died to someone and want to place a meaningful bounty on the ganker. But you need stop your arrogance and heed people's advice. Try to research and learn this game's mechanics fully before making suggestions. Thanks.
