if you become a annoyance to a faction they should put up bounty posters and like every 10 minutes or something a bounty will appear on the top of the screen where the wanted usually is.
Also, you cannot escape the bounty hunters you have to kill them or leave the system

the "you cannot escape" mechanic is already a red flag for this suggestion because it means they'll get very annoying if you want to stay inside the faction system you're battling without outside intervention ruining your day (and ships scale with difficulty, which means bounty ships will quickly become capitals and screw you over hard unprepared)
if they don't respawn or first require you to get the bounty in the system first, then I can see it working

While a good point, to even things out, you could make it so there is only one of these ships/packs of equal strength to the highest threat of the system, and you know where they are ahead of time.
That way, if this bounty mechanic happens, you have more time to prepare. It becomes more of a "you have a rival" rather than "there is another bounty man in this system."
