Would it be possible to set up a system for peace keeping in Open Space? Sector ownership is tracked, so would it be possible to add a mechanic where a member of the owning corp receives a bonus in credits and/or resources for killing criminal players in the sector?
Open Space is avoided by most players and this is in no small part due to the high level highly negative karma players constantly hunting players in pvp areas or “safe” areas with station protect turned off. There is little reward for killing other players in Open space other than whatever they might have been carrying and the “got-em” moment when you take them out, so most players don’t. We play as mercenaries, and one of a Mercenaries’ main incomes is bounty hunting, so the lack of a reward for killing players with a “Criminal” rating doesn’t make much sense.

No, people avoid open space because there are too many safe zones with blue ships farming, and no reward for PVPing except the small GS for negative karma. Also there is no alliance system, no link between sector conquest and map, no in-game bounty or “killboard” system. There is no reason to form wings or fly with friends, since the harder PVE enemies or missions do not drop better loot. The whole thing is just xxxx tbh.

Honestly, I think people avoid it from a combination of boring gameplay and terrible loot.

10 gs per karma achievement. You get gs for any achievement, not just the karma ones.
