Evening.
I am currently looking around Sirius, attempting to find out where/ what systems spawn warships that I can practice pewpew.
I have returned after a few years so my knowledge is lacking in the area. There seem to be many more spawns of these military vehicles which is great.
Not to mention the reward for being able to 'down the targets' is an additional thrill.
Does anyone know of systems that have Gunboats/VHF combo-spawns exclusively for bomber training?
(Again I have found Iota to be great - yet the cruisers come out of no-where) (I am aware certain missions get this desired affect)
I am also trying to find systems where Battleships/larger ships are exclusive (capital ship combat training)
- however this appears to be mainly Nomad hunting/ snipe in the heart of Liberty, causing me to essentially get deleted in seconds.
Three i can think of on a whim are battlezones in Omicron Zeta, Vespucci and Edinburgh. Another one is in Lorraine, I think, but for your needs best location would be Edinburgh. Also bear in mind that, if I remember correctly, indie Nomad IDs can not leave their ZoI without an official faction escort.

Tottori has a battlezone between Samura/Alliance and Dragons/Chrysanthemums that has exclusively fighter and gunboat spawns.

I do not believe there is a "pure" all caps no snubs battlezone, but far as I'm aware, Vespucci and Munich have battlezones that are biased heavily towards Cruiser+ spawns.
As for Edinburgh mentioned above, it has fighters, gunboats and cruisers, so it can get a bit spicy between infinite core impact/storm cannons and snub/gunboat swarms if you go there as a bomber. If that suits you anyway, I believe Omega 5 has spawns up to Cruisers as well.
Poole has a small battle zone for fighters and gunboats as well.
If you want a real challenge, Omicron Major spawns lots of dreadnoughts, battleships, and all else. although I would not expect to live very long if you go alone
besides that, an easier battle zone for cap hunting would probably be Lorraine, I've done that one alone a few times on my dreadnought, pays good bounties
"This Short guide gives an overview of Battlezones in Discovery. A Battlezone is an area of space that has constant high-level NPCs that spawn and engage each other in never-ending combat. It is a good place to practice combat skills in a variety of ships and make large amounts of money. This guide shows what areas you can find them in and what types of ships spawn for each one. This may be improved later. For edits or questions please contact firewolfy on Discord
