I still say that unless you're straight neutral on the ground, you're doing whatever faction you're in a disservice by even being privateer. I mean, consider the differences...
1 Black Sun Ace Helmet = 15,000,000-30,000,000 credits
3000-7000 Black Sun kills in normal space = 0-1 helmets
3000-7000 enemy kills in Deep Space = 24,000,000-56,000,000 faction points (including no gunboats, only fighters)
If you sell faction points:
24,000,000 @ 100cpp = 24,000,000,000 credits
56,000,000 @ 100cpp = 56,000,000,000 credits
If you don't sell faction points:
You benefit your faction on the ground a LOT. You can throw down a lot of valuable PvP bases, or turrets on PvE bases, and help take planetary control.
Does anyone get the impression that they've been making a horrible waste of their time trying for these damn helmets 
?

16500+ kills and still nothing.
Well not nothing, I've picked up some very nice loot parts, a 5mil credit chip and 40000000 of PPXP (So that's a 1000+ trips to Deep Space coverd). 
But still no helmet. But I wont give up and I try not to moan about it (much)
Hope others have better luck than me.

isnt the faction per ship in DS about 50? that means 150k-300k of faction... which is 3 or 4 SF bases, depending on how good your best planet is doing.
