I've noticed on these missions it is very important to study the guides before accepting them. I will be using a Navy Mega with Hybrid weapons to start with. My question is what regions or rats would I be most able to handle. I tried a level 4 with Angels(which I now know are best handled with Exp.) and hardly made a dent in them and had to leave the mission. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Guristas can have pretty bad ECM jamming in missions. I'd probably try Gallente space in a Mega

Actually assuming your armor tanked go for theology council missions Mostly against sansha (em.therm) there is a lvl 1 2 and 3 agent in Pennigram And then when you get on lvl 4's Sasoutikh has 2 lvl 4's in same station.

Aunia => Fed Navy lvl1 > lvl4

i switched from navy mega to regular domi ...much better for lvl4 ... and not so expensive if you loose it which viable without lvl4-5 support skills and some good drone damage, not to mention if some pirate drops to your mission and does its web|scram + neut proteus thingy

think about it and come back :-)

example: lvl4 "Scarlet" mission took me 3 and half hours with 27M in bounties and 3M in sold stuff ... the rest is kept around 1M perhaps

lol @ Dread Pirate Scarlet. What a shyte mission that is. Takes forever to full clear...loot and salvage is garbage...and it seems to pop every 3rd time I request a mission. Nice bounties, but you'd be better served doing 3+ missions in the time it takes to do that one.

I enjoy Dread scarlet, use my tengu and it takes about 30mins, ,then salvage..

To the OP, mission against what you chosen ship is bonused for. CCP even made it easy, if you using a gallente wepons systm, go mission in gallente space, lazors go to amarr, etc.

Erm. Carry a gate key, fit arties, pop her in room 2 just because you can (and you get her bounty for doing so) and then again in room 3, grab the implant, go home. Maybe 7 minutes with travel, LP is decent, 10mil in bounties, bonus implant. Scarlet was one of the few missions I wished for before more or less giving up on missions altogether.

Be aware of TD - they use them a lot.

No matter where you mission you will get other rats, not 100% the type that is local, so you may get a sansha or angel, or whatever mission in serpentis space. The reason people always suggest missle ships, drone ships, and minmatar ships is due to their ability to do damage for the right type of rat you are fighting. So If you are Gallente skilled I would recommend a drone boat.

That being said if you are not after just the highest isk/hr ratio, then by all means use whatever, a kronos still kills angel rats fairly quickly in my experience, even if it is no Vargur.
