Newcomer / Intro Bounties

I'm very new to this and tried to search other posts. Yesterday I was collecting bounties by going to Nav Beacons and getting into fights with wanted people with other players. Even if I didn't do much damage, the bounty still registered. Today, not a single bounty has registered from any fight, regardless of how involved I was. I haven't changed anything. What am I missing?
 
It sounds like you're playing in open mode and yesterday you were the only human player at the nav beacon, and today there was at least one other human player steeling your bounties from you...

Does that mean that last shot that kills gets the bounty? Regardless of how many human players are shooting at the target? thanks for the reply, just trying to figure this out.

When playing with other cmdrs, the last player to land a hit collects the bounty iirc.

This is true except when you are in a wing with the other cmdr(s). In that case anybody who is part of the same wing as the eventual victor (i.e. the commander who takes out the target) and lands at least one shot on the target will share in the bounty.

But outside of that it's "Killshot lands the bounty".
 
With NPC you don't necessarily have to land the kill shot, but it has to be within seconds of when the wanted ship is destroyed.
Beam lasers are good for getting the killshot. I just make sure I'm on the bounty the last 1-2% with my beams till it goes down.
