I'm looking for a system to grind out massacre missions at while simultaneously grinding imperial rep. I know about CEMIESS->VEQUESS but I'm not a fan of doing assassination missions, I am also aware of the Ngalinn courier grind, but I want to do combat. What I really need is a system that gives massacre missions to a system that has high or hazardous resource extraction sites that I can just farm in Imperial space.
Best System for Massacre Pirate Missions? (Imperial)
- Thread starter CMDR STEELBLADE
- Start date
Not sure I follow that logic.
Base conditions for Assassination and Massacre missions are the same (requires an anarchy faction within 10LY). You won't find massacres without assassinations as well.
Either way, that's what you want to look for. A system where there's only one anarchy faction within 10LY, so all massacres stack up for that target.
No point doing Res... just use the mission USS that spawn, much faster.
I want a resource extraction site to farm massacre missions at that will earn me Imp rep, that's all.
Plus, not sure whats hard to understand about "I'm not a fan of doing assassination missions."

As I explained, you can't get massacre missions spawning without assassinations spawning as well; it simply can't exist. Whatever your issue with assassinations at Cemiess->Vequess is will be the same at any massacre farming spot.
I get you want to farm rep, but you'll have a much better time of it at the mission USS which spawn for massacres, rather than res, so that's not really a necessary requirement.
Dude I never said I wanted them to not spawn Lol. I won't pick them up. My issue with assassination missions is their frequent mission updates that require me to jump out of the current system. I won't do them, I'm only looking for massacre. I want to sit at a resource extraction site and farm pirates while completing massacre missions, that's it.
If you do not have a system that has res sites with imp massacre missions then don't reply.
Right... sooo... Cemiess->Vequess?
You literally said "I know about CEMIESS->VEQUESS but I'm not a fan of doing assassination missions ".... but now you say you're happy to ignore assassination missions?
So pick up massacre missions in Cemiess targeting Vequess Brotherhood in Vequess and ignore the assassination missions which spawn on the board.
If Imperial rep is your wont, this is your best bet.
Vequess has no resource extraction sites, not sure how many times I need to repeat myself to you that I want to sit at resource extraction sites, farm pirates, turn in massacres and get imp rep. You're just coming off as a troll now.
Thought you might want an actual answer to your question so here goes.
We use two locations.
1)
Mission system = HIP 19875 (Ziewe Survey)
Target system = Lovedui (compromised nav beacon)
2)
Mission system = HIP 20277 (Fabian City)
Target system = Calennero (hazres at, I believe, the first gas giant)
The down side to 1 is it's medium pad. If you want to use a large ship I'd recommend a carrier parked at the star in lovedui (I often leave mine there) to switch ships for mission handling and repairs etc.
I'll switch if one system goes into war (if I've got time I'll tip the balance to get it done faster).
These systems are all really close by. You can get 5 stacked in 1 and rarely 6-7 in 2.
Edit: about mission USS being "faster" than hazres or compromised beacons... I personally disagree because it takes a variably long time to get to each mission target. And sometimes you only get 3 or 4 hits per. Compromised nav beacons are the absolute fastest method imo. Constant targets. Almost no stopping sometimes. Mission USS are great to mix it up or just finish off straggling mission numbers.

Right. And that's why i said don't bother with res. USS provide a more target dense and faster way to earn rep.
I understand perfectly what you're asking for... you said you want to grind out massacres and Imperial rep. Cemiess is your best bet here, and wanting to do it at a res is suboptimal.
I'm sure there's other systems out there, but they won't be as good... so if giving you the best answer happens to be the answer you don't like, that's your problem, not mine.
Thank you very much for answering my question, I appreciate it.
I'll definitely check these out.
No problem.
HIP 19875 has two factions in an election, which messes it up. I tend to do a quick set of data haul missions for one to close it up faster. But you can just leave it a week and it'll pass.
HIP 20277 appears clear of conflict right now according to Inara, so you might want to start building your rep there instead.
Yeah just started out in HIP 20277/Calennero, it's basically exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info.
Why?
No one uses hip 19875 (I know this because I'm the only player that impacts wars or elections) yet it still changes state just because I use it.
Are you worried players will sabotage your systems into anarchy? It's not a trade route...
I deliberately haven't mentioned my go-to's because they rely on working for all factions, which will destabilise the faction i want to keep in control.
I pick up missions at Stromgren Orbital in Baal, with the target being pirate massacres in Zeta Horologii. There are several resource extraction sites there from low to hazardous, so it's an endless farming ground.
Fair enough if that's your prerogative.
I'd prefer to share. If the two systems I use suddenly break there are others. And who honestly cares that much anyway? It's not as though credits are scarce.
That said, I've freely shared the two systems I use and, for months now, they've remained mostly static. But each to their own.
Personally, if I was so precious about it I'd not even bother responding to threads asking for it. Or at least send them to here...

I responded because it sounded like (and still does sound like) the OP was going about it all wrong, if they were primarily interested in harvesting imperial rep. Cemiess is the recommended spot for a good reason.
But don't worry, now I can chalk up "providing advice" as trolling, so that's a new one for my list.
I wasn't referring to you specifically when I said that. You just happened to answer on behalf of the person I actually asked the question of so you got the reply. The person I asked literally replied just to say "I know one but not telling", which seems a bit pointless to me but as I said "to each their own".
And no one mentioned trolling. There's a huge gap between someone being a bit precious about coveting a video game asset and outright trolling... But it is being precious, sorry. If you feel that description is negative then I can't help it. I never used to share my old trade routes. I was precious about those. But back then that was the only way to make credits... And only around 7m per hour too!
