Not seen these before but when I logged in today to do some bounty hunting in Riedquat there it was, neat Warterloo, a "Debris Field". So far it seems to operate similarly to a Nav Beacon, ships pop in now and then, but with the added peril of bouncing off huge chunks of Debris :)

Was this on beta or regular? Either way I'll have to check it out since I'm doing both.

In the full release, not beta :)

Hmmm, must be very new or just adding slowly to regions or handcrafted, because I visited 20 or so populated systems last night (different ones) and didn't see that.

I am noticing that all the ships that jump in have a bounty on them and they seem to be much more likely to be immediately hostile.

It's probably part of the simulation that we haven't seen before, maybe fallout after a local spat or something.

nothing bigger than an asp jumped in but bounties were usually between 10k and 50k each

Nice! I will keep an eye out for these. I typically just go to the nav beacon. Some day I might actually make the foray into an anarchy system! Haha. I already gave an RES a spin. Good stuff, but all those rocks murdered my FPS in the middle of dogfighting. :/ So... yeah. The nav beacons work just as well for me. Was it a huge debris field? RES like, or more like a USS?
