Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Is it still effective to collect Pirate hunting missions (i. e. do they have a long enough time window) and where close to LHS 3447 OR Arzrael can we find them?
I am Fuel Ratting most of the time at the moment and stacking some Pirate kill Missions between rescues would be nice ... so I can afford the Anaconda that would make it possible to REShunt AND Fuel Rat without having to change ships (which takes too long).

They virtually nerfed pirate hunt missions out of existence in 2.0, because the usual set of folks were moaning people were having too much fun and that can't happen in Elite. Still get one or two spawn per week, for some nice payouts depending on rank.

I haven't seen one in quite some time..... and it makes me very sad. I love assassination and pirate kill missions.

Yep.....Not seen one in 2.0.......They were my main earners as well.....

Think I've only taken one mission anyway so far in 2.0......That was only because I was going to the place anyway....

Not been earning anything worthwhile in weeks really......Just been arsing about.....

They got so rare, it's better to go hunting in RES these days. Though I got one the other day for Azrael. 3,6m for 80 Pirates with 4 days time - that was a bit tedious

Conducting important scientific research surely

I saw some at Summerland and Facece (the permit rank locked empire systems) while I was grinding for Duke.
At the time I was really not interested in 57 pirates for only 1.5 mil, and maybe, if I was lucky, one percent rank increase.

Victoria, care to share some alternative on the best way to grind up some credits? You are one of the most experienced in that respect, it seems ... and a Conda could be a sweet allround ship ending all that parking zillion different ships all over the bubble.
