I've been trying to destroy rival powers in acquisitions systems but have failed to find any!

same prob i had they are just not there at times are they lol ghosts.
I must have found one as it says I've destroyed two out of nine. I have no idea where I did this!
Usually you just hang out at the nav. beacon and wait for them to appear, or just cruise around in supercruise and use an interdicter.
Indeed, i am also doing this in a Cobra MkV, but had to make a hasty retreat a couple of time.
My Cobra is set up as a general mission runner, i am still figuring out what's the best loadout.
I set my MKV up as a missile boat for scavs at bases. I normally like to take them out on foot but, well, sometimes I just feel lazy
Actually... carpet bombing a settlement isn't a good idea these days: you're liable to hit non-hostiles now when it used to be just scavs.
I've just done a power on and there were loads of red triangles on my radar. As I was in my exploration ship, I went in on foot, all guns blazing in my fave combat outfit. I wasn't fscared! Hah! Get some get some!
Oops. Wanted. Off to the IF then. Things could get hairy.

That's currently my main reason for PP - get Packhounds for my Cobra. And maybe something interesting for the small HPs. I'm still unsure about the smalls, though - 2 launchers on the mediums should be enough, so I need to cover two small + one medium, and it'll be hard to find something more devastating than the thermal frags I currently got there. And I don't want to mix fixed weapons due to the different aim points.
I have Cytoscramblers on the smalls, they work quite well on the Cobra.
On the mediums i have multicanons, but i am looking for other options.
I have them on my Mamba on a different account and love them there - but unfortunately they're rather high up on the LYR ladder (rank 88) and use a lot of power.
Needed some materials and, once again, going to an FC saw the bartender bereft of everything.
So... reluctantly, I took an assassination mission. Not a fan, but needs must.
Took a taxi, got searched a few times. Cloned a seclevel 3 through a window. Ran into the building where my mark was hiding.
Shot the wrong person. The body was found and the alarms went crazy.
Found the right person and offed them. By now, of course, every Tom, and Harry was on my case. If hadn't done so many GCZ's, I would not have got out alive. Brave Sir Robin'd it but one of those drones was on my six and it was touch and go for a while - those things chase you forever.
Made it to the recalled taxi and snagged my reward.
Good job it wasn't a stealth mission.

Stealth mission, for me, is just code for bring big loud guns, lots of noisy grenades and a very large boombox playing AC/DC or something equally as quiet.
Excellent. They won't even you're there.
If you work hard enough, you could run around in circles getting security to follow. Hey presto: impromptu mosh pit.

Not enjoying these power-on missions where scavs can turn up. Only half seem to be valid targets and it's all too easy to become wanted by hitting a non-hostile..
On the plus side once that happens the problem of non hostiles goes away and you can go full dakka.
Well, that took longer than it should have.
Say hello to my (new) little friend:
EDIT: that Zenith plus the AR-50 seems much more effective than the Aphelion/AR-50 combo I've been using. Which is surprising really as the effective range of the Zenith is 35m, compared to the Aphelion's 105m. Damage is 0.3 (DPS?) higher on the Zenith.
In any case, it seems a better winning formula so it was worth the sarcasm being heaped on me by Domino Green.

Did you ever see a station that was ever so pink?
(L-class dwarf... I assume that planet would normally look like a snowball planet!)
One of the other planets has bio, I will have to dig out my anti-rose-tinted glasses for that.
Turns out it's the Land Of Grey And Pink
