So, I have yet to try it, but is it possible to log out in a safezone with say 300 bounty and log back in with 300? (Assuming you do not forget to set your ship or change it on the main menu?)?

Yes, possible but unreliable. Sometimes you retain your bty; other times not.
The exact algorithm that governs this is not publicly known (i.e. Priit and no one else knows it). It appears it is a server side mechanism -- you can close the client, and reopen it, and retain your bty (under some set of circumstances). My speculation has been that the server has a queue of retained btys -- if enough people retain their bty while you're logged out, you get pushed off the end of the queue (and start fresh the next time). Alternatively, it could be stored in the registry but that would open the door for high bty exploits, so is extremely unlikely.
Right now it looks like longer safe zone time will be coming back in the future. The feedback here and in the zone is clearly in support of it. If you have valid reasons against it (or for it), this is the place to make your points and discuss it.
