How to stop boredom - things to do?

Hi everyone,
I've put about 60 or so hours into Elite Dangerous and have about 5-8 friends online in wing when I play. That said, we are all getting a little bit bored so I thought I'd come here to see if we are missing out on anything fun?

We haven't put an insane amount of time into the game but are all getting a little bored with grinding bounties in RES zones. We all have fairly tricked out vultures and are basically building credits to eventually switch to trading to farm up the more expensive ships.

Can anyone offer any advice of fun things to do in a group? We tried mixing in taking the assassination missions and found it way to easy to take down the Anaconda's + wing of ships. Beyond that we're not really sure what direction to take. The game is very visually stunning and we are still having fun but I can see the boredom kicking in a little and would like to spice things up for the group.
Will the new patch coming out soon really add that much with the factions, etc? I think having some PVP goals or some way of affecting the universe would be fun but like I said I haven't put in a massive amount of time to the game to be able to really comment.

Anyway thanks for any thoughts on this or the game. We're still playing everyday but I was hoping for some more experienced player's insight. The game seems to get VERY grind oriented without much of the MMO features currently in the game. I wasn't really aware there were community goals until very recently. (Maybe put something in game like "CALL TO ARMS" in system blah blah blah."

Anyway we love the game but like I said would like some help from some more experienced players.

I suppose you could enter the strong signal sources and have a go at the ones where you get 4 anacondas wanted attacking you at once?

Or do a race, say through the capitals Achenar -> Alioth -> Sol (assuming you have the permits)?

Join community goals (although recently these have been bounty hunt or combat zone ones)?

Try pirating or becoming wanted criminals for a while (in the least favourite faction)?

try to switch systems to your chosen faction/minor faction. Mind that this can be a little frustrating due to the current state of the background simulation, but it´s doable and gratifying. It will be much better when 1.3 is on, I hope

With a group, you have the opportunity to make staged group screenshots. Use that opportunity! It won't last forever, and if you're not in a group at all, you don't get that opportunity to begin with.

Somewhere, there's a great picture of some guys that made a snowman in Elite, that kind of thing is just awesome in my book.

EDIT found it, Google Search Engine™ "Elite Dangerous Snowman" in Images:

We actually went to Empire space last night. We found a decent high tech high pop system and......were bored and started RES farming lol.

With 5-8 people in vultures this is insanely easy.

How do you get the permits for SOL btw?

You can try and grind your way up the combat rank ladder, and make some decent cash with the community goals while you guys are at it.
