Do Wartime/Stragegic Missions affect the war process?

[Jmanis]

Black box missions are also not combat missions, however I didn't verify it.

Just to clarify one point on that... while I have no position on black box missions... black box scenarios i.e, you go to a Threat 1 Combat Aftermath and there's a wreck + black box, or a disabled anaconda, definitely do contribute to war/civil war. I've won wars on these scenarios alone.

You can absolutely just kill a couple of targets and grab the bonds. Last year when I was out on the edge of the bubble messing around in some zero-traffic systems, I had a bunch of wars on at once and since I was fighting unopposed, what I'd typically do is not even switch out of my cargo python, drop in and pop a single eagle, cash in the bond, then go back to whatever other system I was messing around running missions in.

Note that this is not a recommended strategy if there's any opposition whatsoever, it only works if there's absolutely nobody working for the other side.

Thanks. that's helpful.
