I don't want to be a terrorist ED

If you can't find missions you want at your 'home' station, fly to another station and see what they have to offer. Or do something else in the game, short exploration trip, a bit of bounty hunting, some mat collecting - lots of things to do.
One of the things I do when either there are no missions I want to take, or need a break from what I am doing is a concerted effort to ensure there are no 'not visited' systems around my home system. So far I have cleared them all out to around 50lys. Doesn't earn me a lot of credits but I find it beneficial in the long run.
Another thing I do is make my own chain missions. I will take one mission (normally a good one if at all possible), then stack any other missions to that specific station. When I get to that station, I hand in all the missions, and repeat the process until I hit a station that has no missions for me to take or at least that interest me. So far the best I have done 14 missions until I hit the 'no mission' wall and returned home. Strangely it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be

Nothing wrong with that Commander, I am the same. Will not take massacre, assassination - well any mission that could result in my Commander getting a fine or bounty. Yep that includes surface scanning missions as well. I have spent a long time getting the persona of my Commander just right, not going to jeopardise that now just for a few credits lol
Seems like you're in a system that has a war or civil war ongoing. Move on to a different system.
I manipulate the BGS in favour of Anarchy control and I've never had to do massacre missions or any 'unlawful' activities to further my aims.
FDev have a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'Anarchy' actually means.
Yeah I also skip a few things but I do, do things now and then that either ends up with a fine or a trip to the slammer, lol
I am in federation land right now but thinking of moving on to Empire just to grind some more for to try out the Cutter once I get up there..

Just want to make it clear, not really complaining here. Love this game even though it has its up and downs. It's amazing for one thing in VR, thw work that goes into this is beyond my imagination. I love it. After playing with a t-1600 joystick since 2017, I will be transfering to a Hog stick as I'm having issues now. Got rudder petals so that should make it more interesting or not.
Does the system you're looking at happen to be in a war?
The generation of massacre missions got broken by a false-fix for them not spawning, meaning boards during a war state are 80% massacre missions.
After the actual issue got fixes, this boost to spawn rates was never undone. It took years to get the actual issue fixed, so i doubt the amount of massacre missions which spawn will ever get fixed.
I use the filter at the top left and set it to "Legal" almost every time I browse missions.
Sometimes though there are no missions for me. I have a passenger carrier on standby for those times.
Then I just call in my passenger carrier (or go get it) and do a few short range passenger missions.
Admittedly I turn the right hand filter to Influence also, as I am working for a faction and dont care about credits at the moment.
Cant really attest to the wealth in credits because of that, though I think passenger missions pay around the same as The Pilots Federation supported Murder missions, if not more.
The Passenger Missions do give very large amounts of Influence though compared to the Mission board, 4+ and 5+ are the Norm it seems.
They're freedom fighter missions!
Personally, I think massacre missions are a mug's game - corporate lizards getting honest pilots to do their dirty work for pennies.
If you want combat without the strings attached, fly to a REZ site or a CNB and have fun - lots to shoot and tons of experience gained.
There are plenty of missions on the shady side as well if that's your thing but aren't into killing: scan and sabotage jobs for instance.
Or you can fly clean, running courier, cargo and self-loading baggage. The sky's really the limit.

Star c is not in my future, too much negative with that one, more of a scam by the looks of it
Agreed Totally. I' just talking about mission board...so much killing wanted. But I will kill cause I can no problem now, I have the powerPersonally, I think massacre missions are a mug's game - corporate lizards getting honest pilots to do their dirty work for pennies.

So, the mission board is broken because they broke it to fix it after it was broken? Typical FDev.
To the OP, yes I noticed that there are a lot of massacre and piracy missions - in stations owned by factions not in war. But since a few updates a lot of things are broken - wrong chatter from mission NPCs, wrong mission text, NPCs talking about war in election state…
Stations having no cargo missions if the faction is in neutral state (state None).
Let's hope that Fdev fixes that stuff at the end of 2020 with the "New Era" update.
You can see in this way that more than 1000 years after today, the humanity has not evolved much.
A dangerous species, no doubt.
