o7 Commanders,
System: Maya
State: Civil War
Controlling Faction: Maya Purple Universal Inc
I've been searching for Combat Zones as an alternative to ranking up with the Federation via donations and found a suitable system in Maya. If anyone wants to wing up for rank and/or profit then feel free to contact here or in game (CMDR Jupersack).
Fly safe!

I'd been looking for just such a system. I might drop you a line. What timezone are you in?

Well that won't work then. I'm eastern time north America.

Running missions for Feds will probably rank up faster than CZ bonds. Compare time spent to % rank and see.

Edit: I checked the OP and realised I didn't mention Massacre Missions at all. My mistake!
I agree. I don't think Combat Bonds by themselves give any rank at all but I don't have a source handy for that.
The idea in this case is taking Massacre Missions that ask you to destroy X number of ships in Combat Zones; you're getting the Credits/Materials/Commodities/Rank from missions on top of the Credits you get from Combat Bonds.
It isn't too difficult to stack Massacre Missions and I've seen them pay out ~11m for 108 ships. While Donation/Courier missions are probably faster, I find Massacre missions more entertaining and they're probably the best Credits per hour you can manage outside of Sothis/Ceos runs.

Agreed. Stacking massacre missions gets you easily 20 million credits or more per hour on top of the rank gain. Between the mission turn in and combat bonds it's easily as profitable as a Ceos/Sothis run
