How can I avoid being sent into low-sec from hi-sec? (missions)

I'm graduating from L2s and looking for an L3 agent. But I want to avoid low-sec at all costs.

How do agents decide where they send you? Is it based on their station's sec or proximity to low-sec systems?

Will a L3 agent in 0.9 send me into 0.4 one jump away?

I've tried two 0.5 agents already and they both sent me to a neighboring 0.4.

You might want to try in the mission forum, or someone here might be able to give a more detailed answer:

I have no idea but you can google stuff I spew to see if it actually applies.

I recall reading that your agent mission distance could be affected by the standing with the agent.

Agents could also be 'trained' into only offering you certain missions ( or more specifically into not offereing you certain missions ) over time when you would decline that mission.

Storyline missions agents location will affect your travel plans when grinding because you actually only have a few per region ( I think )

Heres to hoping any of that helps.

If you're NEXT DOOR to a lowsec system, you're gonna go there pretty often. If you're 4-5 jumps away (or farther) then you probably won't go there much, if at all.

seems that they send you in a 5-10 jump radius or so (sometimes farther if a lowsec system breaks your travel route).

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

If you name the faction or corp you want to run for, somebody might be able to give you an answer that is actually helpful.

Yes....but you won't explode on entry. Well, maybe...

I don't see a rule against posting twice, as the question is relevant in both topics. There is a rule against non-constructive posting, however...

Anyway, thanks all. Seems everyone's mileage varies, which answers my question. :)

In regards to combat missions, they tend to stay within your current constellation, or adjacent solar systems. As already suggested you should try to find a system with no nearby low sec systems.

Courier missions are a bit different, as it is the level of the agent, that determines the destination of the mission. For more information on this, see Courier Missions Revamp
