You can bounty hunt in one of your systems (with RES for example), but hand in vouchers in all of your systems.

Any combat actions count so if you have any RES you can go bounty hunting. It worked for me.
You might want to try killing cops too - assuming you are not the controlling faction.

killing any ship of the other faction will do - and funnily enough they count towards CZ missions.
If you are not the controlling faction, killing cops will hurt the controlling faction, but not necessarily aid you, as the influence they lose will be spread around all other factions and you might not get a share fair enough to compensate your losses. I think killing wanted ships and cashing the bounties issued by your faction would probably help more.
i think, cashing in bounties does the trick here, additional to shipkills (but the effect of bountie cash ins is much stronger).
attacking the faction with most influence (which isn't necessarily the controlling faction...) is only beneficial, if you are the second, in most cases, isn't it?
You'll also eventually become hostile and not be able to dock at their stations, for no other benefit, because there apparently should be nothing fun about being a bad guy...
RE: Wanted and bounties, issue is if you're trying to collect bounties for a faction that isn't the controlling one, you waste a lot of time KWSing and hoping they have a bounty issued by your faction. It's better to just go to a system (if one exists) where your faction is in control and hunt the wanted ships there, then cash the bounties in the system where you don't have control.
"depends" I guess. If your goal is knocking down a particular faction then it doesn't matter. But yeah, if you want to boost your faction, best to be "large" compared to the other factions, as influence losses are distributed proportional to your influence level (so a faction on 20% will gain twice as much compared to a faction on 10%)
On an aside, I handed in bonds for the first time since 2.1 landed. 1 million creds in three batches (200k, 300k, 500k) in a system with population of 45,000. Got a 3% increase in that faction (both sides have 25-30% influence). Does that stack up with the experience of others?

Looks about right - a smaller claim seems better, but it's not an exact science. /understatement
Awkward way of putting this, but i'm not sure i'll disagree with this. Ask me two days ago and I might have tried to, but just recently my faction (at 73% but not controlling,, stupid foreign wars) dropped 7%. There hasn't been opposition, but I did let two missions fail.
This might be related to the war bug, if you are involved into a foreing war.
More to the point - of course i put the wrong number
the result is more around 1/100 of faction influence. That is, a medium mission for a 10% faction, for which the general consensus is to produce a +0.9% increase, produces a -0.1% decrease on fail. Exact result of course is influenced by population and other things, but that should be the range.

Faction i observed this for want in a war state. Either way. More tests required!
Hi all,
Can anyone please explain the specifications of the state "elections" in a system?
When will this state occur instead of war/civil war and what can be done to force or to avoid it ???
kind regards

Election happens when two factions of same goverment type have the same influence - two democracies, two corporations, even two dictatorships (yes, this does not make any sense). As for war and civil war, the only way we know at the moment to avoid it is "not getting close into the first place". Once triggered, it will start.

Its been done as i recall, but only through community goals.
Hi All,
Just a quick noob BGS question:
How do I go about cancelling a boom state? We're trying to envoke a Civil War with the controlling faction.
We've reached 70% which apparently starts a civil war automatically, however, I've heard that boom blocks Civil Wars.
Help please!!

I think this has changed, conflict now has precedence.. The only thing that should block war/civil war is a war in another system.
