For those who are bounty hunting and am racking up a lot of bounties in factions you are not close to (I'm in Federation space, so Alliance and Empire for me), one tip is to get a separate Type-6 with basically just a A4 FSD. This should enable you to quickly go to the other factions just to collect bounties, and then head back to wherever you are operating from and switch to your primary ship. Saves a lot of hassle, and minimizes the "oh no, not again" feeling when you get those bounties...
