Pirate Hunting Missions?

[S0k4r0]

It is been a lot of time that i do not find any pirate hunting missions, and the truth is that icome here to the forum to see if anyone has any idea? where you can find hunting missions for both the empire and the federation? anyone knows any system that has these misions?

Plenty of systems have these. The last few systems I spent any time in were either in Civil War or Bust, and these were pretty common.

For me the issue is not finding piracy killing missions i see them pop up a lot on surface bases around katta but for me its finding them where the targets are factions which apoear in a res. I enjoy dragging ships out of super cruise to its onky really useful imo for assassination mizsions or low number piracy missiins. Sniffing around supercrise for 5 mins before seeing a mission taerget when you have to get 31 of the blighters is not fun imo.

So if anyone finds a good base offering piract mussions for factions in a nearby res please share.

Taaa

It was common before Horizon, it is the only thing that I do and I could easily stack 20 of these missions in just a few station hopping.

The current pirate missions are also very different compare to pre-Horizon, before the mission only requires you to kill certain number of pirate in the given system. Right now instead of the system you will need to hunt down pirate from one particular minor factions. Even with a RES site, you won't get much out of these missions as it would take too g long to achieve the number of kills required and they are too rare to be stacked.

Still someone know system to get these missions federation or empire?

I found on the large missions that require 70 or so ships to be interdicted that after a certian amount of ship kills it will spawn all them in a single instance after 20 or so kills.

Where????

Filter the galaxy map to show states in Civil War, War, Unrest, and Bust.

Head to one of these systems, go to the mission board and hopefully you'll be able to take on a pirate hunting mission.

I had been regularly pirating NPC's for low temperature diamonds pre Guardians release. This was very profitable if you found the right system and I was regularly making 5-10 mil an hour. Unfortunately like many other things Guardians has nerfed that. The NPC's carrying LTD's are still around BUT interdiction is more difficult (more fails) and when you do interdict you find the NPC is already boosting to high wake before you have even dropped out at interdiction.

Now you dont have time to even finish a cargo scan and poof they are gone. You wake scan, follow and its all rinse and repeat. Since Guardians I have been lucky to successfully just one NPC in an hour. I have given up hoping an update will sort it but no... I lodged this as a Bug report but I aint holding my breath. Like a lot of others I have moved on to another game hoping there will be some fixs...

You mean something like these?

Spoiler

Note that there was absolutely no state going on in that system, nor with the factions.

Interesting, I don't remember seeing any of those missions in months. Also, my mission boards are usually almost empty these days. Maybe it's a bug that only happens on some game accounts?

I stopped seeing them for a while, and then a few days ago, I was at a station where, there, were as many as you could take, like 20 in one visit. but there were about 8 different factions that they wanted. I guess, you could do one faction at a time. That system was in war state.

Shu Babassi and the one beside it with the really long name are offering 100s of millions to kill pirates. Obvioiusly you need to be allied and the system the pirates are in has multiple Haz Res.

Edit Empire.

I find them mostly at planetary bases these days. Not really sure they're worth doing at the moment as the target ships don't seem to spawn in RES sites (or nav beacons) very often and so you're forced to hunt them down one at a time in supercruise and the spawn rates for that can be terrible too.
