What contributes to winning a war now?

[Tolmir]

Has anyone figured out what contributes to actually winning a war now? I can't see massacre missions anywhere at least not ones for conflict zones, I know winning the conflict zones help but does anything else contribute to victory, for example do the massacre pirates missions contribute to victory or anything like them?

Hand in combat bonds as well as winning the conflict zones count.
It looks like bounties for the controlling faction "might" help.
Others also say that war missions count.

What counts as war missions? For example I haven't seen any massacre missions, only massacre missions to kill pirates in different systems from different faction, would they count?

 

[Marcus Machiavelli]

War missions say things like "war scan" etc. But this is all a "might" remember. Give them a go and see if the help. Help us test as we are all learning.

Well, to paraphrase someone :

The crushing of your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Dav said 'aggressive combat missions' and it nearly made my brain melt.
On one hand, Dav is always right. On the other, FD have repeated this hokum for years, and it's always been a lie.

If I was an 80s computer, sparks would fly, and I would shut down.
