killing PP rivals in a nominated system

[[VR] Mad Mike]

hi
just a quickie.
how do you guys quickly get the kill x PP rivals in a nominated system goal. currently I am hanging around the nav beacon but having to run every time I get authority scanned (RP reasons.... I have no beef with them so don't want the added heat of killing innocent none targets).

is there a specific uss I can look for or summat? combat ones I am finding tend to be pirates (why is it no npcs who are PP aligned also have a bounty?)

Powerplay Weapons Fire (Threat 5 are basically mini-CZ-s with 2 or 3 waves of pretty tough ships), Convoy, Convoy Distress and higher threat (4+) Wreckage signals—especially those that show Faction X vs. Faction Y in the upper right info display.

Another option is hunting around stations, if you're operating on your own Power's turf. You'll get NFZ violation fines, but as long as you don't shoot the station the locals will leave you alone. But don't do this in an opposing power's territory

And also note that if the specific system isn't sufficiently close to any other Power's space ... you won't have any targets.

Thanks for reminding me of own Power stations surrounding area!
In hostile territory I usually look for any USS that has Power in the name. Depending on mood I choose appropriate threat level

Sometimes just hanging around in SC with an interdictor at the ready works fine too. And even if you just randomly drop out of SC, one or two PP related wings might appear as well.
