I see lots of people flying these ships in low sec. And I am wondering if it it at all possible to run l4 mission in a SB in low sec?

I am well aware of the risks but the LP store is cheaper and the LP rewards are much greater?!

Is it really worth it or no?!

Sorry, New to eve and still getting used to the ideas of low sec

Thanks for any advice!

How do you fare against frigates?

Most lv 4 militia missions can be completed by killing a commander npc, a structure, or industrial ships.

You do not need to kill all the rats in the mission.

So you kite the rats and kill the objective and run off which only takes around 5 mins per mission.

However, many level 4 missions are kinda hard in a solo stealth bomber and it is so much easier to have another frigate that goes in first to tank all the rats.


It is worth it if you need quick cash for a few ships, but it gets kinda boring and tedious after a bit.

if you really wanted, you could get two navy battleships a day(or more if you play like 23/7) so do the calculations.

L4's are difficult for a solo SB Pilot, unless you're in Minmatar FW (in which case, they're ridiculously easy)

Gallente rats sensor damp, meaning you either lose mid-slots for Sebo or take the risk of flying closer

Caldari rats jam you, meaning you're in the plex longer so more chance to be interfered with. (I'm assuming there is also a liberal use of missiles?

Minmatar rats bloom your signature to the size of a dread with TP, to the point that it doesn't matter about your transversal. Their arty is going to hit you anyways

The point being that all 3 screw with your ship regardless of weapon system

Amarr rats will TD you.Roll

The FW missions for the Minmatar are a licence to print ISK.

If you could do L4 FW missions in a solo SB, which missions would you do? I know the 'pro' mission runners skip certain missions because they WILL pop a Stealth Bomber.

I don't always post on the forums, but when I do, I prefer posting with my main.

Npc usually aren't problem. But when you open the mission and warp to your mission gate, the bacon appear on overview ... so if an incerceptor fast and warp right away ---> you are death :)

Thank you for confirming my point re: FW missions for the Minmatar.
