Enclave is really good for farming Omega-49. Rule-wise this system is still Bretonian yellow zone and therefore it's cool & good place for Enclave to farm. Of course, keep an eye on Coalition and BAFs, they'll try to gank you, but this is nothing new for the server
Corsairs are good for farming spot in Zeta, but be afraid of Core. Same issue about ganking
Nomads. Really dude, these squids are good for farming Omega-49 as it is in Omega ZOIs as well, but expect to be ganked by literally everyone
Enclave is also good for farming Burgundy, but 50% nerf made this zone really sh*t
Dunno about the rest of spots as I don't really care about other places
Recepy for no sweat group NPC capitals killing (for missions at least):
Any Battleship who has 2 heavy slots on same side of ship , so you can mount 2 Nightamares, turn that side of ship toward group of NPC capitals (so that nightmares fly straight to them from moment you launch them, not at arc) fire both nightmares in 2 secunds interval toward ship that is in middle of group and then collect loot.
Valor for example have 2 heavy uo and 2 heavy down, equip 2 nighmares on top, charge toward group of enemies, lock missles on one in middle , engine kill, turn your top side down so Valor top side face oponents, fire nightmares with little interval betwen then and wait sound of masive explosions.
Since Nigmares have huge explosion area, First nigthtmare will deshield hole group, second will finish them before their shield regenerate , only few high HP Battleships can survive this tactic, for them you need third nightmare launcher on same side (Sarrissa for example have 3 heavy on top if i am not mistaking).

Double Nightmare will make BS "Toothless". Did this a lot on Coalition carrier against sair and bret BS. Murmi looses all the equipment, including shield. Legate looses shield but couple for secondaries surives, which rly can't break heavy BS shield.
So far I noticed that battleship with 4 heavy slots is quite good for pve
2 nightmares + 2 heavy mortars.
Nightmares for battleships, Heavy mortars to insta kill cruisers (one shot one kill from quite afar)
Full pulse guns.
The rest are secondary guns

imagine doing missions with BC but only with GBs and cruisers, and not solo BC missions against battleships like a pr0
On a side note, while yes I know the neph is huge, it has zoner ID so you can go farm where your muscle pleases, just be mindful of the rep.
If you want to make something new, and stay on a particular region, I suggest Enclave valor in O49, CR deimos in T44, Bismarck in frankfurt (Devs pls buff and add more fed NPCs)
Theres a few others I might have missed right now but the above mentioned are some of the best (Frank would be too if we had some proper NPC spawn rates)

Meh. Get a Federal Bismarck in Munich and you can fight against imperial Bismarcks, the missions are close to the base and basically nobody cares about you.
Also I explored Liberty. And there is a surprisingly high amount of bases that do drop 3+ mill missions if you refresh enough. Often in tradelanes so you'd never bother with them
But it's hudson, 2x Texas, Bering bases
It's actually fun to take missions from a base and go wherever it sends you (often includes a system jump) and then take a mission from that system's base. Gives you a chance to go to systems you wouldn't go to otherwise and roleplay with people on the way that do go to them.
Devs are trying to make PvE hotspots to create PvP
I actually think bases with missions that force tradelanes and system jumps should be given a buff and be made more frequent - as you get to meet way more random people on the way, not just farmers and PvP whores
My favourite ship to farm with is the Liberty Carrier. With a heavy battleship shield and capital ship armour upgrade mk8 means I survive even when I lag out, unless I smash the ship into a planet, which is not entirely uncommon with my potato internet. 4 Heavy slots (#2 and #3 face forward, always useful).
Plenty of high paying missions around Liberty (always check the battleships) and I only just found out that there is a PvE zone in California. It spawns a butt load of Insurgent ships, from Fighters to Battleships. Plus, you can sell any Outcast, Rogue and Xeno pilots to Harrisburg at 45k each.
