Newcomer / Intro PowerPlay Assigments: how to do this?!!! Commit Crimes in Undermining Systems

[yndtrud]

Last week I had the same task, but I had to get 125,454 bounties on my head.

For one destroyed enemy ship, 5,000 credits were placed on my head. In total, I destroyed 26 ships. My fame reached level 10. After the attack on a clean ship, the ATR team flew to me. After completing the task, I did not close the game for 20 hours to reduce my fame to 0 and pay 125,000,000 credits to withdraw the assigned rewards. It was hell, it's not interesting.

Now I need to get 440,194 bounties, that will be 89 ships. My reputation will be crushed. I will be the most famous pilot in the system. Each attack on the ship will cause an ATR to arrive.

How to complete such tasks?

Doing on-foot crimes can skyrocket your bounty pretty quickly, I think. I think you get a point of notoriety for every six clean kills or so, and on-foot notoriety diminishes faster than notoriety gained in your ship - I think one point per hour? Not sure.

Other than that: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, i.e. don't commit crimes if you can't live with the notoriety. If you choose a life of crime, there are, as a surprise to nobody, consequences. It is actually possible to ignore assignments you don't want to do. Only the first set of weekly missions is mandatory.

The notoriety and bounties on you shouldn't be a problem. Nobody will care as soon as you fly to a different system, where the faction that gave the bounties isn't present. You can then do other stuff while you wait for the notoriety to disappear, then go to an Interstellar Factor in one of your friendly systems to pay off the bounty. The only problem you have is dealing with the ATR, and when you're in friendly systems, bounty hunters will occasionally interdict you, so make sure that you have either a fast ship or a combat ship until the bounty is gone.

Were you able to deal with the ATR or did they kill your ship?

I haven't done these missions, but when I do, I'll use a very fast ship and go to a low resource extraction site in enemy system, then blow up all the ships there. The police in a low RES aren't very strong, so they'll be a good source of kills. One trick that some people don't know about is how to get the right spawn of ships. Each time you go to any RES, there is some RNG that determines the characteristics of the spawn. You can get only small ships, only big ships, mixed ships, busy or sparse, lots of police or not many police. If the spawn doesn't suit your needs, you can log out and in or jump out and in to reset it to new characteristics according to the RNG. After re-setting the spawn, the police seem to have trouble recognising when you have a bounty on you until you commit a new crime.
