I've tried as well and there's nothing out there. I'm gonna pass on this one, which is a shame.

ACTIVE CG - Support Federal Strike Against Crime Syndicate (Bounty Hunting)
Summary System: Andowatye Station: Bosch Station (Coriolis Starport, large pads available, 68 Ls from main star, 94.74 Ly from Sol) Objective: Hand in Bounty Vouchers for United Andowatye Democrats Time limit: 21st July 3308 @ 06:00 UTC Description The Federation has offered bounties to hunt...
I suppose you can also sit in the system and wait to see if a Thargoid shows up that you can shoot. But if you're honest with yourself, and you've been to a bounty hunting CG before, you know this one's broken.
I will say it larger.
Missions from the nearby systems, for example Assassination or Massacre missions from Kholo, which target Andowatye, spawn pirates there and count for the CG.
i have done quite a few bounty hunting CGs in the last 7 years, and several of those had no res sites, no high res sites, and some were before massacre missions were a thing or installations or megaships.
i don't think there is something broken about the current, as the gameloop works (and is the same for anyone).
happy hunting and/or happy shooting fish in barrel!
@Flossy could you perhaps ask if the state of this CG is intended?
Summary: There are no easy hunting grounds (no RES, no CNB). There are missions from nearby systems, and players could change the system state to enable installation scenarios or pirate activity signals, but, usually there are CNB/RES.
I see the AX CG got another goal bump, but this CG received neither a goal reduction nor a RES/CNB. We're at 0.40% in 24 hours.
I'm not complaining, but, as evidenced by this thread, most players just look for a CNB/RES, and the goal is in high danger of failing. So is the state intended?

Lengi system is active for LARGE ships landing but is on planets only...
Combat POI Distance IS RNG in the system could be 10Ls from jump in point or can be 400ls or 3kls or 7kls... But there not all insured to be 7kls they can be a lot lower...
Be careful of the Ambush threat 3 single bait ship in POI, after you attack it for bounty it can spawn, very easy anaconda and a few eagles or it can spawn 1 anaconda and 6 actual harder hitting ships...

I'm not sure this was intended. My guess is they either unknowingly setup the CG in a system with no bounty hunting activity, or simply forgot to turn it on. There are no "Red Family" targets as per the description. The <system> is empty of <faction>.
And the system will always be empty of the mentioned faction unless it is added as an actual minor faction. It's kind of of rare for CGs to add new minor factions, though not unheard of. But for CG credit it does not matter.
Not getting to tier 1 does happen but its been stupidly rare...
Tier 1 only needs ~15 billion
Tier 2 only needs ~30 billion
Tier 3 only needs ~60 billion..
Already at 1.6 Billion and it's not the weekend yet...
Another useful mission type for bounty collection: high-threat (wing) mining missions will often come with 9 Deadly Anacondas as mission enemies, using the pirate template so they have decent bounties. Pick up a bunch of those missions anywhere, once the threat messages arrive in the inbox just hang around in the jurisdiction of choice. With enough missions active at once you should have a pretty good supply of them coming after you in supercruise. Also a nice long timescale so you can pick them up now and they'll be good for most of the CG or until exhausted.
Whether you subsequently complete the missions or just abandon them and get some new ones is up to you, of course.

Good advise. Also, "Source and Return" or "Industry Needs" missions, especially those for 50M cr, are a sure bet to get the Anacondas. I've had 36 Anacondas chasing after me at one point lol.
System Kholo, next door to the CG system, has a CNB which will make it easier to ally with the system's controlling faction and get better paying missions from there.
Good efforts by all trying to save the CG.

I just took this mission from Bosch Station:
It gave me some Anacondas which I've turned in >5 Mils of Bounty. But my contribution to the CG didn't change.
Maybe bounties from missions don't count against CGs?
Did you jump into the destination of Andowatye before fighting.. if you did not that will be why...
Sure I did. As usual, the mission target system is where I got interdicted. And that was Bosch Station in Andowatye, the CG target itself.
Did you turn the bounties in at Bosch?
Where did you check your contribution? The left-hand panel is MUCH slower than the mission board.
Bounties from missions absolutely count, that's how I got 21mil. (The mission rewards do not)

That's weird. If you destroyed those ships in Andowatye, you should have had bounties to turn in at Bosch. That's how the regular mechanics work anyway.
I do this often: I get one of those 50M cr "Source & Return" missions, jump to SC but stay in system, and the "good thing I found you first" Anaconda won't be far behind. Bonus will be paid by the mission giver but that's above and beyond the local bounty for the wanted ships.
