I was thinking more about the "Nonviolent Heist" types. No combat allowed. Those are fun but tricky. Fetch missions are also available -- no combat.Thinking about it - and my experience of the on foot game has seen very little combat - a great way to stock up on Oddy mats is doing restore power missions.
Once you know how to find that type of mission... I won't do a spoiler...
... but you can run around those places and pilfer at your heart's content: you don't need to leave the settlement immediately after completing the objective.
I'm no expert on these but as I understand it you can rack up bounties ahead of time and turn them into the CG. It's possible that the Powerplay bonuses also apply, so that may be a factor. Possibly AFK farming in some cases, I've heard that it can be done.
In any case, there is no "wrong" here. This is Elite Dangerous, after all.
Yeah, I think there are a bunch of folks who will do their best to figure out ahead of time where a Combat CG will focus (Galnet, guess-work and Voo-doo, best I can tell), and go ahead and start stacking up bounties early, so that when the CG drops they can hand in an imperial fook-tonne of 'em right off the bat.
As for me, still testing positive for the lousy Covid, but feeling somewhat better. Fired up the Princess Astrophel for a little jaunt this afternoon.
This is the last image in my screenshot folder before the lurghy got me:
Some frigid rock in the Crab Nebula. That sky tho!
The Crab Pulsar, at the heart of the Nebula:
I didn't fancy getting any closer atm!
In system with the Crab Pulsar:
Dis you? Thanks for the landing pad, carto-payout and use of the little Space-Goblin's room!
On the Edge of the Nebula:
Leaving the Crab Nebula behind, heading towards the Monkey Head nebula now - then onwards to Rosetta and Seagull Nebula's, before circling back to Jellyfish Nebula.
And then?
Onward to Rho Cassiopeiae!
Took the Krait MKII out today. I had a hankering to play with the SLF and do some casual exobiology. I do enjoy the Krait, it's a fine ship.
I had the Lance with me, so I buzzed a few Fonticula to see if they would run. They did not. But this shot looks like something that would have been Photoshopped back in the Horizons days, doesn't it?
It's been quite a while since I docked the fighter with my own ship. I still remembered how, but it was oddly more satisfying in an atmosphere.

So that is the plague planet then.Yeah, I think there are a bunch of folks who will do their best to figure out ahead of time where a Combat CG will focus (Galnet, guess-work and Voo-doo, best I can tell), and go ahead and start stacking up bounties early, so that when the CG drops they can hand in an imperial fook-tonne of 'em right off the bat.

Seriously glad to hear you are improving, don't push too hard though.
Bacterium informem. Did you get a codex disco bonus?
Hair dryer time!
What does this mean? I don't understand any of your posts.
I've been up to running my Interstellar Transportation Company out of Barnwell Station in UGP 145. Mostly doing sightseeing missions with some bulk bus and rescue missions thrown in using my rumble bus Krait. I built an iced-out Dolphin a couple weeks back, and already have a frosty Orca that I use. The rumble bus is a Krait II.
Orca. Very fast, good jump, 13% idle
Sunburst
Dolphin. Less very fast, good jump, 11% idle
Interstellar Overdrive
Krait II rumble bus (armed transport, bulk haul)
Parabellum
Just dropped in to Jodrell Bank station (Jodrell system):
Yes, I think it weirded us all out at first.
It means that he's still enjoying playing Elite after everything he's been through but that's the extent that he is able to communicate.
TBH, I'm a bit jealous. He's got more credits than me, he's above my 95% Expert ranking and he's in the 4000's for INARA rankings.
Go Baz, o7 Cmdr!
That must be a casino station, slots all over the place. On another note, anyone ever herd of or seen a star type called Herbig AE/BE, that's the actual type of star. It's non-scoopable which surprised me because it looked like a miniature orange/yellow star, it was also accompanied by 6 brown dwarfs and 21 planets and moons.
Oh I see - I never realised there was an issue, sorry to hear that. Thanks for the info.
1. I hope Steven Spielberg doesn't see that image.
2. Paging @Sapyx for the stellar info in the game but Herbigs are not on the main sequence yet (too young) so are not scoopable but in the meantime:
Herbig Ae/Be star - Wikipedia
I am summoned. 
Herbig AeBe stars are large protostars. Where T Tauri stars will eventually evolve into Class M, K, G or F type stars, Herbigs will evolve into larger A and B stars. They are rarer than T tauris, for the same reason that A and B type stars are rarer than smaller stars: while the big stars are the brightest and most visible stars in the galaxy, they are vastly outnumbered by the smaller star types.
Herbigs are rare enough that bumping into one just by flying about the galaxy at random is extremely improbable. And you'll never bump into one if you've set your galmap filters to only include the scoopables since, as you've already discovered, they're not scoopable.
In the ED universe, "protostars aren't scoopable". The only rational reason for this is "space magic", because in ED, spaceship fuel is plain old ordinary hydrogen, and the atmospheres of both normal stars and protostars are made up mostly of hydrogen. Any conceivable technology capable of scooping hydrogen from a star ought to work just as well on a protostar.
Despite their rarity, and the difficuty in actually finding them (since they don't have a separate galmap filter, if you're actively looking for them, you pretty much have to trawl the galmap searching for them by eye), they are relatively good targets for ELW hunters - the sheer number of planets that are normally generated in Herbig systems seems to outweigh the slightly reduced probability of ELWs forming in protostar systems.

That's fascinating info, I guess they are so rare because they evolve so quickly (according to the article Para Handy found) and I didn't find any ELW's unfortunately. That's why I love this game, who'd a thunk, ya know.I am summoned.

For bubble-dwellers wishing to see a Herbig, the nearest one to Sol in-game is the second star of the HR 51 system, 338 LY from Sol (so just outside the Bubble proper). The nearest system where a Herbig is the primary star is Wredguia VY-S e3-21, 612 LY from Sol (so, further away than Sothis).
