The BGS is no longer transactional - it is value based, however you still interact with the BGS via transaction as described below
Influence changes in factions are brought about by player activity. . Each tick the BGS calculates the net points for each faction and converts them into a new influence value. Best current thinking on full transaction definitions are listed below.

Activity | Transaction Definition | Required for Initial 10% of unopposed possible influence gain. NB strongly diminishing returns. Approximate square the number for the next 10% etc. |
Bounty Hunting | A drop of one or more bounties at a station at which the faction is present is a transaction. Bounties dropped through interstellar factors do not count as a transaction. | 765k |
Combat Bonds | A drop of one or more bonds at a station where the faction is present. The effect is where they were obtained rather than where they are dropped. Bonds dropped through interstellar factors do not count. | na |
Trade | A profit-making sale of any volume of goods in demands | 400k |
Scenarios | tbd | strongly positive [not quantified] |
BM Trade | presumed to be a profitable sale of any volume to the owners of a station. | similar to positive trade but not measured |
Missions | Outwards and probably inwards per + accepted on completion | 4 |
Exploration | A sale of one or more systems to the owners of a station [Currently too variable to be sure] | 2 million |
Murder | Each clean ship lost | [1] Subject to strongly diminishing returns and appears primarily to redirect influence distribution rather than directly take influence from the affected faction. |
Fines | A fine occurred over a low threshold value | tbd |
