Any way to generate bounties for a particular faction?

I am guessing the answer is probably going to be no. However, there is a faction I am trying to increase in a system. This faction currently has no stations, but it does have a few surface settlements. Is there anyway to reliably collect bounties for this faction? I’ve tried going to a hi-rez with a warrant scanner but it’s very hit or miss.

Also, I am playing in legacy so Odyssey content isn’t applicable.

Yes there is if they own an asset or preferably a system. With surface settlements make sure you are outside the no fire zone but within the boundary where they control the space. Only that small area can be used so watch closely. Depending on what the minor faction is determines whether to use a Kill Warrant Scanner or not. Why collect bounties though? No good for Influence changes.

Bounties are not good? I thought they were about the most powerful influence source. Is there any thing other than missions? Unfortunately 90% of the time the mission board is filled with a lot of trash missions like “mine 160 tons of water” so it’s inefficient.

I'd rather took missions from the faction and took influence reward.

With the diminishing returns curve a combination of bounties and missions will be more powerful than either alone.

Picking up missions (out-of-system ones if necessary, though the mining ones can be pretty good for this) is a good way to get enemies with the right bounties: sit in your faction's jurisdiction at minimum supercruise speed, when you get the tasty cargo message, drop and wait.
