I just started and did a fat trading cargo grind to get the credits. Now I want to kill stuff. I play solo and want to practice vs NPC's.. Where is the best place to go?
If you're new to the ship and don't want anything too challenging at first your best bet would be the Federal Distress Signal near Eranin 2. Once you're a bit more confident there's a low intensity conflict zone just outside of Eranin 4 that you can check out.
EDIT: Now that I think about it I might have gotten the location of those zones reversed. Either way the Distress Signal will be at one of those two planets.
Put one ton of something expensive in your cargo bay and fly around a system; someone's bound to pirate you.
If you look on the galactic map, sometimes it will tell you that a systems security level is "Low" in which case you're more likely to find wanted pilots, or people who'll try to pirate you.
Resource Extraction Sites in rings are good - enough Wanteds to target, with security vessels around too to help take some of the heat of you if things get dicey (or steal your kill by firing the last shot, see another thread on that, lol!).
If you visit LP 98-132 and supercruise in the system, and see an USS, investigate it. More often than not, you will find Iron Blood, an elite wanted Anaconda, with 20-50k bounty. Good fun!

Although, if you're just getting warm at shooting stuff, you might want to avoid that one for some time. But you should definitely kick some conda butts when you're confident enough.
It's worth noticing that many resource extraction sites across the galaxy spawn 40k+ anacondas, btw. So you're not stuck in the core systems.
