I'm trying to Demand a Tribute at Bloodsea...
I'm Combat Rating: 7 and I heard this was the minimal for this planet, but they are telling me not to joke around.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

The consensus is that you can't expect tribute before rating level 8. Go out and let 'em have it some more.

I just figured it out... all you need is a bigger fleet...

That and the 8 rating. And what you'll be attempting is to beat their fleet to a pulp. Then after wiping out several hundred pirates, demand tribute again and the planet will surrender...
but surrender to you only. Doesn't mean it becomes peaceful and there are no more pirates in the system or nearby systems.

Ahh, well I'm still rating 7 and made them tribute. So, maybe a bug or something?

Oh and does fleet kills add to your rating or do you have to kill them yourself?

I doubt it's a bug. And it wouldn't be the first time the concensus was wrong. I'm pretty sure your fleet is you, you are your fleet.
Bounty missions are the exception. Should you take a bounty mission (contract) it doesn't matter who gets the kill, you get the bounty. You just have to go to the planet that issued the hit to collect it. By the time bounties come into your picture, the 150K, 200K, 250K are pocket change and only worth collecting if you're already going to stop in that system anyway. Think of it as free money.

To distinguish between live contracts and dead pirates on your mission list, the contracts yet to be filled (pirates still at-large), the greyed-out ones are alive. The bright ones are dead pirates.

Ahh, fair enough. I haven't done the story missions yet, I thought I'd get a bit more OP before I do them. Should I start them now?

If you're strong enough to force a planet to capitulate, you should be able to start the missions. Bear in mind that they're somewhat open-ended as far as time goes. For instance, you can take a mission of delivering someone somewhere but still go about keeping your fleet from bankrupcy, and/or merrily continue fighting pirates. Without giving too much away, many contain a lot of travel. Once completed, you have to discover the next mission (quest) by dropping into a spaceport where you'll be accosted by the next story character. If at any time you "have more pressing business to attend to", as far as I know, the story game is over. You can go on trading forever. Successful completion of the quests, which so far don't seem terribly daunting, allows you to meet the aliens.
