The Solution is easy indeed: Just add a counter for bumping the same ship within a given time (like 5 minutes). After counter reaches 2 give a global warning to the bumper; After it hits 3 add a suspect flag to the bumper.
It wouldnt change null-sec, but would affect low- and hi-sec in a very positive way. The high-sec elite pvpers would either be in need for a new "easy-mode-perma-unpunished-warp-scrambler" or alternatively finally add some proper timing in order to get something ganked. I mean, theres already really some special amount of skill needed to be in time at the Uedama undock and initiate the 3-click-sequence: warp to the Ganker-FCs safe spot, being fleetwarped to the victim, locking the broadcastet target and finally activating those guns while the bumper macro-bumps the victim all evening...
So the mentioned bump counter would add to the already huge skill-requirements, as the bumping would need some coordination too and the elite pvpers would be forced to break new ground by being forced to dive into the "risk-vs-reward"-philosophy for the first time and actually risk something valuable other than all those cadged catalysts (or at least change the machariel doctrine)  |

I can think of a few ways off the top of my head to use such a mechanic in ways that you won't like.
Tell me more, I'm curious

Well, of course my suggestion would need a proper implementation, so the system knows whos the bumper and whos the bumpee. And yes, even when Troll X decides to camp hi-sec gate while trying to cross someones alignment line to force them to be the bumper. |

Boom, instant free flag, no 15 minute GCC. Much, much less people required to gank a freighter, too, so CODE could start camping way more areas, more often, more effectively.
This would apply, if the system doesn't/can't decide between bumper and bumpee. Thats true. But as I already said: My suggestion would need a proper implementation which actually CAN decide between the former and the latter. If it can't, it fails and would make ganking even easier than it's now ;)
