Massacre Missions

Sol, if you have the permit. 6+ stations (close to each other) that host Bernard Star bounty missions which can* stack. Both systems have large ports. Bernard Star has "Steelhook Camp" which is the outpost for the "Crimson faction" pirates, at this location you can farm away.
*Stacks most of the time, some missions won't 'count' until other missions are completed first.
 
im sure you stack missions easy if you stack massacr missions from a faction ie go to x system kill 10 pirates also another mission in the same system ie kill 7 pirates,you ofen find one counts with the other,kill 7 pirates in the 10 mission completes the seven mission and leaves 3 for the ten mission,get it got it good,i confused myselve,hope you get my drift lol,its hard to explain lol 07 cmdr
 
Your combat rank Decides what missions and the pay for them you are offered...
Allied status can alter the number you get as well as they can "switch" Class of mission then, If that happens take missions and fail them to lower the rank...
Web sites do not take into account state effects on factions... If there all at war with each other look for another location as war changes missions to conflict zone and they don't stack..
 
Maia. Enter Maia in the tool Darkman Returns linked and you will see there are 11 systems all in close proximity to Maia that have a chance of offering massacre missions in Maia. You might have to do some flying around but you will find missions.

If a conflict state like elections or civil war are going to limit massacre mission offerings in one system, just move to the next system. Also all three super powers have a faction present in at least one of these systems so you can increase reputation with them as well without moving all around as you might in the Bubble

That is - many systems near Maia offer pirate massacre missions in Maia - and you can stack them - and you may get real numbers not pee-pee 3-4 kills / mission but yes 30-50 kills / mission, so the payment will be not cheap credits but instead dozens of millions / mission.
I found Maia - as a hunting place - THE best for massacre missions.
 
One more thing to consider when mission stacking where ever you hunt, take a look at assassination missions.Though you might want to avoid wing missions of this type if you are flying alone, unless you have a very good ship and pretty proficient as a combat pilot. Even then its high risk.

Also not all assassination missions send you after wanted targets, so choose wisely. But if you find missions targeting pirate lords in the system you're working in they are worth consideration. 1. they pay put nicely. 2. They add to your bounty claims in that system. and 3. Sometimes the target and their escorts will be aligned with the pirate faction in the massacre mission so you can scratch a few marks off those at the same time.

Multiple individual assassination missions are indeed a lot harder when all targets are in the same system - you may drop for ONE target and when fighting that NPC ( sometimes he will have a wing with him) you may get "jumped" by other targets who will drop to attack you when you are already involved in a fight - so the things can get ugly very fast...
You may get instances when you are fighting 3-6 elite big NPC ( Condas / Vette ) at the same time AND half dozen of small / medium ships - not a good deal if you are alone !

Sure funny things can occur also - like watching pirates dropping in your fight and.... engaging other pirates !
Happened to me a couple of times - I laughed, and I just parked my ship at 2- 3 km taking pot shots from distance at all of them - hitting them once each 20-30 sec, and just waited for the winner to finish the last - moment when I engaged him : my ship at 100% his ship badly damaged by all the fighting:p

Was a nice one but usually this is a rare event - normally all focus you.
I found the best strategy is to "work" on systems with ResH all my massacre missions, since you can control the environment much better in a ResH and you can dictate the engagements and always the pirates will buzz those ResH ...
Maia is the perfect example.
 
Be aware if you take multi assassination missions Multi targets can come to you no matter where you are, makes it very very interesting...

Lol that in the vid was a piece of cake - he always fought JUST ONE enemy at the time AND none was high ( dangerous rank is bullets sponge ) , if he was jumped by 3 Vettes and forced to fight ALL at THE SAME TIME he was in rebuy screen in under 1 minute... but getting one enemy after other is a simple, easy fight. Add the low rank of the enemies.

But are hard assassination missions where the NPC are high rank (elite) are in strong wings ( with a pair of elite Cheff / Vulture/FdLl, etc) who wil engage you ALL in the same time AND they are armed with rails and PA - AND you my get jumped buy a second wing of a second target when you are already engaged in the first fight !

To be in a Cutter in such situation , alone, with not even an SLF to help you - is suicide, and you will get to the rebuy screen pretty fast.

Yup business as usual in a Vette, just 2 things can get better in Maia:
1 - stop getting interdicted 24/7 by dumb thargoids - is a complete loss of time
2 - have a powerplay power present there, so you can use the damn 100% bonus of bounty hunting - is a shame you cannot use that in Maia.... Imagine how nice could be....
