So, I literally just started the game, and I am still flying the bone stock Sidewinder. I am enjoying bounty hunting, so thats probably the main moneymaker that I'll stick with, but I have 2 relatively basic questions involving it.

1. When do more difficult bounties show up? Is it related to your combat rank, is it dependent on the specific system that you're in, or? I've only seen and picked up missions for "Harmless" guys so far, and it only pays around 30,000 credits, barely builds my combat rank at all, and they barely fight back. The biggest challenge is hoping they dont FSD away from me. I know I'd get destroyed taking on someone with a high rank, but im just confused where the difficulty is determined.

2. What are the best subsystems to target? It seems to be Drives so far to me. I think I read that if you target the FSD, and they try to use it when its damaged, they'll blow themselves up and you wont get the bounty, so I should probably avoid that. Some people said the power plant is the best as well.

I appreciate any help regarding this.
