Missions & Complexes

It bothers me a lot.
I have ~3bil Marauders and other high-cost ships that I fly for missions.
So basically why would I fly into some low-sec system?
I mean it's very dumb to go into low-sec in a 3bil ship.

So every time I get a low-sec mission I decline it. Sometimes you get 2 in a row and then you have to move to another agent.
Moreover when the other agent gives me 2 low-sec missions or faction ones I have no choice but to wait those 4 hrs for another try.
Isn't that very frustrating and a waste of time?
Each time I get that combo with my agents I log out, unless my corp has some pvp going on so I log on another char.

Shouldn't Hi-sec agents give you hi-sec only missions and low-sec give you only low-sec ones?

This doesn't solve the actual problem.

I'm not sure if it's still the case but around 2 years ago, Gallente agents often sent you as far as 7-12 jumps out - into lowsec systems -- especially for storyline missions.

It infuriated me so much because storyline missions are what grant faction standing gains so I went out and started working for other factions and used the side-gains to raise up my standings. Tutorials for Minmatar, bunch of SOE missions, etc.

It was kind of funny -- I'd check the map, find "12 ships, 5 pod kills in the last hour" on the map stats for the path I'd have to fly to take that mission. /rude - dump and keep going.

Like 12 storyline missions with that kind of crap going on from the Gallente for each one of them... But that was BEFORE the changes over to "security" from the old types of missions that mixed stuff in. One lowsec run wanted me to take a huge amount of garbage (literally garbage) to a lowsec station 5 jumps in. Sure... let me go ahead and run 2 indy loads of garbage along that path! ... hehe

Why not fly a cheaper ship into lowsec?

Just an idea.

Why gimp your isk/time, stress levels, and risk repetitive stress injury (i.e. mashing the d-scan button) by flying in lowsec?

I know some people claim to enjoy low-sec missioning and that they make a mint doing it, however, I just can't see the appeal nor how the rewards are high-enough to justify that claim, unless you and your friends manage to lock down a chunk of low-sec

Dude you are wasting our time .

Find a better agent deep in a sea of high sec .

If you still like that extra reward of that 0.5 agent near low sec DEAL WITH IT ./thread

Why would I want to fit a PvP ship and go there when I want to do missions aka carebearing?

PvP in EvE is no longer fun and intereting. It's all about ganking, gate camping and waiting 132490 hours to have an actual engagement.

If I remember correctly then the distance to the 'target' system depends on your effective standings and on the actual mission specifics.

Like in current system or within 2 jumps, within constellation or in the next constellation.

All without any regard to the security status of the target system or any system in between.

With the removal of agent quality there's no longer any reason to use an agent within 2 jumps of lowsec system within the same constellation.

Besides, why stop after trying agent #2?

With the agent finder you get a nice list of available agents sorted by distance so if your current agent give you a bad mission, take the next one.

Wandering into low sec is not the worst thing in the world. Not EVERY high/low border system is a perma-camped instalocking disco meatgrinder. There are far too many low sec systems and not nearly enough pirates to camp them.

By using agents off the beaten path, those forrays into low sec won't be too bad.

Even better: Find an agent IN low sec. You get the same dangers of entering low sec (arguably less since agents deep in low might not send you to a low/high border system) but you get higher isk/LP rewards due to your agent being in a low sec system.

because losing ships hurts your isk/hour.
