Looking for advice for varied combat missions

I'm having a blast with the beta so far. I love the flight model, feels like I'm in Star Wars. I wish the other popular space game I backed before ED felt the same but let's not get into that! ;-)

I love combat, so does anyone have advice on finding interesting combat missions? I've done the federation distress call a number of times which is fun but I want to try others.

I did try to pick up a 'hunt the pirates' mission but couldn't find them (I went to the system in the mission specs and went to a number of unknown signals but never found a pirate).

Are there any escort missions or other combat type missions?

Just in case it matters I have an Eagle (great ship, shame about the tiny jump range), with only 2 pulse lasers. I'm trying to save up for a munition based weapon (no idea which one to get) for my 3rd hard point.

Thanks.
 
I have to admit this is a good post, I have been looking for some combat zones or pirate busy areas without much luck, any hints chaps where should we be looking
 
there are 2 combat zones near Eranin 2, one is Federal distress call and other is High Intesity zone, in first are mainly FFvsSide while in high intensity are cobra/side/anakonda/lykon9.

also you can choose any side, just make sure there are no other PC as enemies or they will kill you, swapping sides change exprerience a little.

as for pirates - there is no sure way to get them in any anarchy system 99% of interdictions are done by pirates, also >50% USS contains ships, and if you are in anarchy system, treat all ships as enemies and just kill them all :)

anyway there should be more content coming soon as now it's getting boring, missions are very basic and useless, you cannot really interact with anyone now ;)
