Accepted a mission to kill NPC bounty hunters. The first USS I went to, some other ship told me not to do it and go to a station to accept some little Cr. I still wanted to go ahead and do it, however, I did now about 12 USS, and still no idea what I am doing exactly. The wanted dont count, as they are pirates. When I shoot CLEAN ones, I get a bounty on me, I really got no idea what to shoot. If anyone can help, that would be great.
Need to kill bounty hunters..... no idea what to do (Mission)

Not actually taken one of those missions, but I'd assume that you need to kill the ships that approach you and scan you, then send a message along the lines of "you're clean, move along" etc. They're easily found hanging around the nav beacons in a system. They're going to have a clean record, so you will get a bounty for shooting them though.
get yourself a Wanted status and they come and find you ! (seriously, kill someone in cold blood and you'll start getting interdicted by twos and threes bounty hunters)
You will find the Bounty Hunters in USS usually in groups of 3, mix of combat ships, including, very rarely a odd ASP. They will scan you but with no messages for cargo, simply that everything is in order ( same as the sec forces ) or they attack you if you have a bounty.
Have fun. Make sure you KWS them as well. They sometimes have bounties on them as well.

so i have to become wanted myself by murdering someone, then bounty hunters intercept me? Do I need to murder someone or can I just shoot someone and warp off, to get less of a penalty?
yeah but i dont get this. The mission sends me to an anarchy system, I just killed 2 NPCs and 1 player, still not wanted.... this is strange.
You won't get a wanted status in an anarchy system.
Ah the first steps into something bigger
You must enter Unidentified Signal Sources. You will find your targets there. They will be flying ships suited for bounty hunting, meaning Combat ( eagles, vipers,... ) or Hybrids ( sidewinders, cobras, ... )
yeah but how do I get wanted status when shooting at a neutral in anarchy system? It works in empire system but my mission is for a anarchy system.
ok, so get the wanted status in empire and then go to anarchy system and fly circles and hope to be interdicted. Thanks.
that is the other issue, there is no nav beacon at the system when I land.
this is a dumb mission.... seriously. I go to a nav point, only real players. I go to anarchy system, nothing attacks me. I go to a USS, then a bounty hunter with support of NPC Police forces attack me..... for a lousy 12 000 credit, 3 hours wasted and severe negative status and money loss... seriously, why do they not at least make a mission description that actually tells what you are supposed to do instead of having people guess and worse even, still not knowing what to do, as I did everything people replied on this post, for nothing. thanks anyways, but nothing worked that was mentioned here. I will ticket this.
Not all USS will carry your target types.
Keep looking.
The mechanics sometimes are not slapped across the screen nor there are question marks above the intended targets.
Again, Bounty Hunters for that mission will be found in USS. Not all of them, but you will find them.
Bounty Hunters will be flying in groups and using Combat spaceships or hybrids, like Vipers, Cobras, etc...
They will have normal names but they will scan you and message you the same as security services, aka. "You are clean, thank you pilot!"
If you have a bounty they will attack you.
If you take too long to kill them, say 3 minutes or more, the Security forces of the area will show up to investigate.
You cannot finish the mission in any other place but the USS spots.

thanks. Already self destructed to get rid of this mission, but when I showed up in station, mission still active...
Go to right UI
Transactions
Choose mission and choose the option to get rid of it
Maybe you have better luck next time.
