I've just picked up a Myrmidon for level 3 missions which i'm on the verge on unlocking and I don't want to lose it the first time i get scrambled. Is there some safer activity I can use as a benchmarck for what level 3 missions take and whether i'm up to the challenge?

EvE Survival can help you with the choice of missions for those early level 3's. In fact it is a good tool even for veteran mission pilots.

You can use the Myrm in most of the level 2 mission, I suggest you start flying it whenever possible to start getting used to it before you jump into level 3's for the first time.

Fly with a friend or corp mate they can be in the pocket with you in case you get into trouble. One trick I use for new players is to fly along with rep drones in a Ishtar, I can perma tank all level 3 missions so I am free to offer aid whenever needed whether that aid is reps or destruction of NPC. The veteran players in your corp should be able to do the same type of thing for you, if the won't then I suggest you look for another corp with vets that are willing to help you.

Myrmidon is a very capable level 3 ship, have you decided on a fit yet?
If so do you mind posting it so we can critique.

I will duel with you to test your tank, free of charge - all in the name of helping others :)

fit a micro jump drive which will put you 100km away from the scrambler and damage sources and should give you plenty of time to warp out.

Also light drones with a drone damage bonus and drone damage amps should kick the crap out of anything that does scramble.

You'll be fine in level 3 missions with your Myrm.

Things so ensure
- T2 tank
- Use Eve-Survival to make sure you know triggers
- Go after frigates that are coming at you first.

That should do it. For level 3s, it is worthwhile to invest in ship rigs. For level 2 and 1, not so much.

You will not get scrammed so you can jump out of the mission if you don't wait until your armor is too low.
